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!!!
