One of The Washington Post’s most esteemed writers, and coincidentally, one of our favorites, has written a nice piece on hypermiling.  Before we go any further, lets first define what hypermiling is…

highway blurEssentially what it entails is altering your driving behavior to get better gas mileage.  Sounds simple right?  Well there is a lot more to it if you put in the effort.  Nancy found a great deal of information on the topic and ended up getting first hand experience in the best methods for getting the most mileage out of a vehicle.  Its an interesting article and can really open your eyes to how to get the most out of your vehicle.  Check it out here!

Hypermilers do such things as drive slowly, brake as little as possible and limit their use of the air conditioner to save fuel.” - Nancy Trejos

Some sites that she found that had other great information about hypermiling:
