Drive like a Hypermiler
- Drive conservatively. Aggressive driving (speeding and rapid acceleration braking) can lower your gas mileage by as much as 20%.
- Glide to stops and accelerate slowly and evenly.
- Drive consistently. Spend as much time at the same speed as possible. Mileage is worst during acceleration.
- Use cruise control when ever possible.
- Slow down. Each 5 miles per hour you drive over 60 mph can reduce your fuel economy by 10%.
