Default Re: Hypermiling on NPR

BTW ... nice job Dave. From the non-hybrid driver standpoint, what stood out in the interview were your comments about "all this instrumentation in front of me" ... I think that is a great way to turn someone onto hybrid driving and in particular hypermiling. For the rest of you advocating hybrids to 'car buffs' and in particular those who might have 'geek' tendencies, I think pointing out the challenges of 'hypermiling' over performance might turn a few heads.

On the downside of things, giving up comfort like Air Conditioning for a couple miles per gallon while sweating with the windows up is just 'nuts!'
