Default Re: Hypermiler guide

Thanks for your help guys! I just got home off of a 120 mile round trip through my normal driving environment (actually record lows for nebraska for this time of year, 50-60 degrees tonight). I was able to average 49.5 I know its only 7-8mpg better, but for some reason, that number astounds me. Now I will have to attempt to keep it there for another 500 some miles.

Thanks a ton!

PS, my wife hates me and my new driving habits. She understands that driving at or below the speed limit really makes little differnce in the actual time of the trip, but she says it seems to drag on forever.
