Back in the 70′s I believe we DID have a national speed limit. Those of you who don’t think driving 55 or 60 will save gas probably don’t know how to read. Any publication that discusses saving gas, such as Consumers Report or Popular Science and many other intelligent publications will inform you that these speeds DO save fuel. Unless, of course you don’t give a _ _ _ _ about our Country.

Corn provides nice environmental benefits but only provides a portion of the efficiency for our cars meaning the costs is still higher than traditional gasoline. and it seems ethanol is the main alternative that is getting funded. So are you willing to compromise gas mileage in lieu of saving our environment?
Instead of $2.80 per gallon and 23 mpg you may only get 16 mpg at $3.20 per gallon so you have to purchase more gas to go the same distance….but you’ll feel better for not having added to the global warming. Don’t you feel better?
(The added cost is why we have ethanol added to our gasoline instead of a multitude of pure ethanol stations. In times of gasoline crisis, the government has added ethanol to stretch our reserves.)

I have a 2008 Honda Civic EX and I just recently started hypermiling and so far on this tank, I have driven 120 miles and the gas gage hasn’t gone down yet! Usually the gas goes down 2 notches by 75 miles! Seems too good to be true, but simple techniques can dramatically improve your overall MPG! Here are some that I use personally:
1. Do the speed limit or under (never over)
2. Chose the flattest route (less hills/inclines)
3. Hardly ever turn on your AC.
4. Coast down hills (shift to N in automatics, then back to D at the bottom of the slope)
5. Coast to your stops (start coasting about a mile or so before the light/stop sign/traffic.
6. If you’re going to be stopped/idle for more than 20-30 seconds, turn the car off. (Actually uses less gas to turn the vehicle off and back on rather than to idle)
Use these tips/techniques and you’re almost 100% likely to greatly increase your MPGs! AND DON’T WORRY ABOUT TAILGATERS! LET THEM BLOW THEIR MONEY ON GAS BILLS!!!
