Default Re: How do you hypermile in a Highlander?

D@mn! Why are you so bitter? Is it because everybody is not just like you?

Many people have reduced their gasoline usage by buying hybrids and/or driving more efficiently. Even if it is not your idea of fun, is it a problem if people have fun while doing it?

I am so sorry that "hypermiling" is not in the Tom Davie approved list of "green" things to do.

The only people on this site who can BOAST 'substantial savings', are the ones BUYING MORE GAS per month , polluting the enviroment way MORE per month than the average 1000 mile per month driver, cause they are DRIVING 5000 miles per month.

The biggest joke i envisioned was the happy hypermiler driving 5000 miles per month , waltzing into the gas station for the 3rd time that week, telling the attendant how much money he is 'saving' as he forks over another wad on a full tank. The BEMUSED attendant doesnt have the heart to tell him he spends MORE on gas than 90% of his clients.
Please tell me who are these drivers that are logging 5,000 miles per month. Who are these "major players" on this site that choose to live 100 miles from their jobs?
