Hypermiling Manual Techniques 2

There are other techniques which I regularly practice...




1. I ALWAYS reverse into parking spaces ready to drive straight out of. Reversing on a warm engine uses alot less fuel than doing the same manouvre on a cold engine.

2. When starting my car, its engine started and away. I do not start my car and sit and wait. This follows the ZERO MPG rule seen in the previous video.

3. I accelerate smoothly, rather than banging my foot to the floor. Again , this uses alot less fuel than hard acceleration. I have heard of some people taking off their right shoe, as this helps smooth acceleration and better consumption..... maybe I`ll try that soon =)

4 .I always stick to the speed limits. This took alot of practice as i used to be a bit of a speed freak. Driving at 80 MPH uses approximately 15% more fuel than driving at 70 MPH. Also around town I use as high a gear as possible. Driving at 30MPH in fourth gear (or fifth if I can get away with it) uses alot less fuel than driving at 30MPH in third gear, as the engine is doing less RPM.


Hypermiling is not a crime...... The price of gas is !!!!
