Hypermilers June 12, 2008

Here’s a cool article about people taking great extremes to get better gas mileage. They call themselves hypermilers.

I’ve started taking the steps below for better mileage. I haven’t measured what improvement I’m getting and I probably won’t try.

  • Slow down your starts. I try not to get above 2,000 rpm when accelerating. Obviously there are exceptions. I let myself get run over.
  • Shift into neutral when going downhill.
  • Coast (neutral) whenever practical – especially prior (way prior) to a stop sigh or stop light

Just doing this stuff I think I’m reduced my car to idle speed 40-50% of the time.

A US ally in Pakistan who held no government office gets assassinated and you fat porkers think you deserve to rape us on the price of gas.

As if someone sounded a bell, gas station attendants ran out in unison and raised prices 25 cents.
