The HCH-II - Honda’s most fuel efficient 4-door sedan
This article describes my personal experience in adapting basic hypermiling techniques to the HCH-II.
More advanced techniques such as
FAS , Drafting, and P&G are not covered here but hopefully there will be a future article on these as well. Owners of earlier
HCH models might also find some information here applicable to their automobile but this article is really meant to be specific to the HCH-II.
I divided the article into 3 sections for better understanding and readability. I hope you find the same.
Driving the HCH-II involves much more of your senses than driving other non-hybrid and even some hybrid automobiles: Not only are you watching your instrumentation closely, you are also observing the road, timing traffic lights, noticing terrain, listening to the engine and gear train, and feeling the car's actions from the seat of your pants, as well as through your foot all at the same time!
This is a "Very-Detailed" Article and {Written} in (Layman's Terms).
This Article took the Author, Tarabell, and the Editor, Xcel, literally Days and Days to type and Edit for Final Print. It is Very-Long but Extremely Beneficial to {All-HCH II-Owners}.
