7) SAVE GAS $$ BY “HYPERMILING”

Aug 01, 2008

What is hypermiling? According to an August 2006 story in the Washington Post, it is a method to increase your car's gas mileage by making skillful changes in the way you drive, saving you gas and money.

Some hypermilers claim to have reached 100 MPG and more; but many ordinary people have learned to use hypermiling techniques to save 20% or more on gas. You can apply hypermiling techniques in highway, ordinary and commuting driving.

The opposite of "road rage," hypermiling encourages a non-aggressive driving style, utilizing momentum instead of acceleration. Share the road with pedestrians, bicyclists and those ever-increasing scooterists around our neighborhood! Learn more at www.hypermiling.com.
