Alternate Route

Jun 5, 2008 - Ease On Down The Road

Maybe gas prices have started altering how much you drive, like cutting out unnecessary trips or carpooling or taking the bus now and then. But have you changed the way you drive?

I won't say that hybrid owners started it, but the term sure came into vogue once hybrids hit the scene... hypermiling.

Getting rid of jack rabbit starts, learning how to slow down and stop with minimal brake use by not going so fast in the first place, generally being a little less agressive on the road. There are a bunch of little things you can do to squeeze more mileage out of your car.

You can find some of these ideas and share your own tips right here in CarSpace in our forums discussion on hypermiling. Stop in and share your secrets and maybe you can start to get results like Wayne Gerdes who gets 60 mpg in his regular Honda Accord!
