The Hypermiling Manual has thousands of gas saving techniques. I have put some of these techniques into practice, and yes..... it has made a MASSIVE impact on my fuel consumption.
My Vehicle is a 1.9L TDI VW (which is renowned for good gas milage anyway). Before practicing Hypermiling I was averaging 39.7 MPG. Using only a handful of techniques in the Hypermiling Manual my average fuel consumption is now 48.9 MPG. That is a 23.1% decrease in my fuel consumption.
In short.... that`s an extra 110.4 miles per tank of diesel.... =)
This is just one of the techniques I use regularly....
Another technique that is used regularly by Hypermilers is to put the car into neutral whilst on long downhill stretches of road. An engine Idling at 800RPM uses a lot less fuel than an engine under load at 2200RPM.
Get It?? ...... If Not..... You can get it here....
