The Hype about Hypermiling
100 ways to get the most from a tank of gas
Previously, RiverWired.com covered ways to stretch a gallon of gas, including hypermiling techniques. Now the blog EcoTrekker has amassed a whopping 100 tips and resources for squeezing every penny out of that $3.25 (at least!) you're paying for each precious gallon.
Some of the tips are old news to RiverWired.com readers, like coasting to a stop and checking tire pressure. But some of the tips are new to just about everyone -- like wearing an ice vest rather than turning on the AC or rolling down the windows, which creates aerodynamic drag. It may keep you cool, but I doubt it's, you know, cool.
Many of the articles and advice pertain to hybrid cars, but those of us stuck with the combustion engine for a little while longer can learn something, too.
