I pushed 0.0056 percent of this tank.

Please do not be disapointed if you can't hit numbers like this. Hypermiling is my big hobby and I have many unfair advantages, plus I go to extremes that other would (and have) deem crazy.

The list of techniques and advantages:

Night shift job / qreatly reduced traffic
Mostly roads with 40 mph speed limit or roads I'll drive that speed anyway
NO AC even on super hot days
No short side trips (like for lunch or to the bank or store), daily commute only
I drive another car if the weather is bad
I drive another car if I want to go fast
DWL
some P&G
DwoB
high pressure in tires
no warmup in winter
no heat in winter
garage kept
FAS FAS and more FAS
keep up momentum
time lights so you don't gotta stop
getting out and pushing a few feet (at work after stopping for the security gate)
parking nose out in parking lots
