Excellent CleanMPG article on driving technique

[MetroMPG]

Wayne (xcel) at CleanMPG has posted an excellent summary of fuel efficient driving techniques that should be required reading as the first step for anyone interested in better MPG:

• Beating the EPA - The Why?s and how to Hypermile

Since "Hypermiling" is strictly defined as beating the EPA figures by a certain extent, the article starts out with a detailed review of the EPA city/highway test cycles. Know thy enemy, then squash them.

The second and third parts cover basic and advanced driving techniques. There's a fair amount of hybrid-specific info, but most of the info applies to all vehicles.

Nice work, Wayne!

Highly recommended. Have a read.

Anything you'd add or change?

This is what Wayne presented at Hybridfest. Indeed it is well worth the read.

Yes, it is definitely worth the read. I would also suggest printing it so you can read/study it. At the very least you should bookmark the page.

Excellent article!

I read over most of it, but I think I'll print it out to read it again.

Thanks for the link!
