Hypermiling - Change your Driving, Save Gas

You have probably heard the term "hypermiling". It means extracting a better mileage out of your car without any mechanical change. It only requires a good driving skill and the ability to ignore angry drivers. Here is a video explaining some of the basics of hypermiling:



I personally can't do some of the suggestions, especially the ones regarding speed. However, coasting is great. I have some hills on my way to the nearest big city, and leaving the gas pedal causes no change in speed and vehicle control.

Please remember: DO NOT use hypermiling techniques on your driving test. The examiners don't care about your mileage, they focus on your performance. Annoying them with coasting (which is easily felt) and driving slower than required will cause you to fail. Use hypermiling techniques only when you're experienced enough. Also, don't use the dangerous techniques. Ever. They already causesd countless accidents.

Have a great week,
