Hypermiling 101

What is Hypermiling? Hypermiling refers to all the tactics you can use to get as many miles as possible out of a gallon of gasoline. It’s coasting when you see a red light, it’s following the posted speed limit, it’s avoiding the brake whenever possible, and it’s even giving your car a push before you start it. It’s all hypermiling. If you think you’re up to the task, here are a few good resources to get you started.

  • Wired’s HOW TO Hypermiling Guide - Wired’s guide to hypermiling has five basics tips and five advanced tips. I personally think you can skip the advanced tips and stick with the basic ones and you’ll do fine.
