Hypermiling! Anyone Care To Share Techniques Or Strategies That Aren’t Listed Below?

There are numerous steps that you can take when you are driving, to increase your car’s fuel efficiency.
First of all, start to keep track of your gas mileage. You can’t work on improving your miles per gallon if you don’t know what they are.
• First of all, before you leave your house, unload everything that you possibly can from your car. Any extra weight in your car burns up more fuel. We’re not going to tell you to leave your roadside emergency kit home, but anything that is not a necessity needs to go. (Bonus: a more fuel efficient car that’s clean and uncluttered!)
• If you have bicycle racks, make sure they are mounted to the rear of your vehicle, not the top. This helps to cut down on wind drag. If you can remove bicycle racks, cargo racks, etc., and drive without them most of the time, that is even better.
• Also, before you leave your house…plan your route so that you avoid as much traffic as possible. Stop and go traffic, braking and accelerating, burn far more fuel than driving for long stretches without having to brake. It takes a lot of fuel to move a big heavy object like a car or a van or a pickup truck, and it takes more fuel to get that car to start moving than it does to have your car driving at a constant speed down the street. So if you can go a few blocks out of your way to end up on a much less busy street that will get you to your destination…you will end up saving gas in the long run, to say nothing of frustration.
• On that note, plan to drive at the times when there is less traffic. Leave earlier than usual for work to avoid rush hour, if you can.

I also disagree with #4. Actually, in modern fuel injected cars, when you’re coasting, the fuel is completely cut off because the drive wheels are keeping the engine running. Putting in neutral disengages the transmission, causing the car to use a small amount of gas to maintain idle speed. Not to mention the safety/control factor. I don’t have a problem with #6, though – but only in cases of prolonged stops. Modern cars start right up and the extra starting/stopping in only a little more strain on the battery and starter.

I have to recommend against two of the points you list. I admit they will save a few drops of fuel but they could cause problems that are more costly than gasoline. Point #4 of shifting into neutral going down hills has two potential problems. One is less control over the vehicle and the other is increased stress on the transmission. A modern automatic transmission is designed to be left in the drive position. Shifting in and out of gear can cause premature transmission failure. Even at $4 a gallon, gas is less expensive than transmission repairs.
#6 Shutting off your car in traffic is an unsafe practice. It can make accident avoidance impossible. Sometimes you have to get out of the way in a hurry. Shutting off the engine adds a few seconds to that. Some hypermilers shut off their engines when coasting to a stop. By doing so they lose power steering and brakes. That isn’t worth the fuel savings. One accident will wipe out any fuel savings by more than you want to think about.

Drive smoothly, accelerate and decel slowly to keep fuel flow constant.
Remove unnecessary weight from car.
Consolidate shopping errands, no driving 20 miles for a 25 cent envelope.
Keep track of tailpipe residue, swab the tailpie looking for dark residue which can indicate a possible need of a tuneup to make engine run leaner.
Occasionally take your car out and really romp on it to clean out carbon deposits, stop and go low speed driving is murder on engines.
Drive with only lower half tank of fuel never full because fuel weighs around 9 pounds per gallon.
