Default Re: Newbie Question... Hypermiling???

tylers65,

You are off to a great start. The things hypermilers typically do:
  • Use minimally the accelerator and brakes - i.e. maintain a steady cruise speed
  • Anticipate what is ahead to optimize fuel economy
  • Study the dashboard to also optimize fuel economy
  • Tend to drive at the lowest speed of your highest gear without lugging
  • Do a forced autostop if autostop does not work or not available

.
