Turn your music down, you'll save at least 3 mpg;)

At the STOP you MUST stop, otherwise poses a threat.

@LameBums Omg your one of the super slow bad drivers... Sorry but you guys clog up the roads, and are pretty annoying. I am not a "speeder" but I atleast go the speed of everyone else, people have places they need to be, or generally don't want to take extra time to get somewhere.

at 0:50, you didn't stop at the stop sign. :)

It seems like you now what your doing, so i have one more question. Is the puls & technique more effcient than keeping a consistent speed? And if so, is it better in al kinds of speeds, cars, rods, transmisson on so on? Thanks a lot!

Okei =) I think we all coud and shoud learn somthing from you and your video! i sertenly did! you shoud also make a video of you driving in the city.
aren't the car using fuel to keep the engien going while you have it in nutral? I use to keep the car in the fifth gear so i'm not idling, isn't that a better tequnic?

I use a ScanGauge to measure fuel consumption in real time. When my car is warmed up, it'll burn about 0.15 gallons per hour at idle, but to keep in gear could be three or four times that (the transmission, gears, etc. all have efficiency losses along the way).

the coastin nutral..is it bad in automatic when you shift back up to D? i have done it but when i'am going to a complete downhill stop(when i get home) so what i mean is it it ok to do if im doing 55mph then shift up..

If your car is reasonably new it *should* rev-match by itself. Try it out at a lower speed to make sure it does, though. If not, just give it some gas right before shifting back into drive to bring the RPM's back in line.

I've come to the conclusion that all hypermiler hate comes from speeders who are afraid if we start a trend and everybody slows down, the speeders will stick out like sore thumbs and be more easily caught by law enforcement.
