What is hypermiling? According to a a fantastic August 2006 story in the Washington Post, it is a method of increasing your car's gas mileage by making skillful changes in the way you drive, allowing you to save gas and thereby have an easier time withstanding the rising oil and gas prices.
Hypermiling :: Even without a hybrid car, no more need to compare gas prices |
Coasting to a red light to avoid making a full stop and using neutral going down the hills...
Anything else might be too extreme.
I have seen a few videos as well...but honestly some of those techniques applied in day to day traffic would be chaotic.
Back to the rising fuel prices...I am driving an 06 Jetta TDI so I can't really complain that much.
