Default Re: Hypermiling vs. Not

While our car is not the best hybrid, it is THE ONE that suits our needs. If I could have lived with the Prius's small size, low power, and goofy looks, I would have gotten that. But, the NAH provides a great compromise coming from an Infiniti G35 powerwise and sizewise, and it does what it's supposed to.

Going back to hypermiling, I found that it doesn't really help much with this car (pulse and glide, etc.) I've only had the car during the winter months so I'm not sure about summer hypermiling, but this car is pretty versatile and yields the same mileage in pretty much all situations.
