Default Re: Hypermilers Attempting FE Record in a Honda Insight

I belive the average speed was somewhere around 20mph. As was said. This wasn't to say "this is a typical drive in an insight" These were some of the best seeing exactly what they could pull out of the insight. The point is to try to fine tune techniques so you can find things to adopt in a regular commute.

Imagine the dedication of these guys to average 20mph over 2254.4 miles? These guys try to push the envelope so people like us can just learn from their advice. Lets all thank them for their hard work and for showing us what a wonderful car the insight is.

And if you think their techniques are radical, if you ever are worried about running out of gas maybe their techniques won't seem so radical

Again. Great Job guys. Way to push that car for all it is worth. If you didn't have a lot of wind against you I can't imagine what you could have gotten.
