Fuel Saving Tips

Hypermiling

For those of you with manual shift vehicles: If you're not using the a/c constantly, coasting to stop lights in neutral with the engine off, and keying back on as the light turns green, can greatly increase the gas mileage of any vehicle. One long, light pump of the brake pedal will not deplete the brake booster, leaving you with plenty of braking power as you come to a stop. This method alone gave me an extra ten mpg on my daily drive, which adds up fast!
