  • Sorry for the audio sync problems.... For some reason when YouTube converted the HD 1080i video it lost sync.

  • While it's true that going slower takes longer, going slower also significantly reduces drag on your vehicle and results in an overall far more efficient trip.

  • Well at least he paid attention to the people around him and made sure he didn't slow them down. As opposed to some people I hear about shutting down their cars on hills and stuff which is a serious safety hazard.

  • @misterjag Stupid observation!, and false of course!

  • I get 41MPG on a 2011 Yaris and the EPA says 35. I wonder what this guy would do. Since it is a manual, he'd probably be killing the engine a lot.

  • Slow drivers are as much a public hazard as fast ones. Speed variance is what causes accidents.

  • 15 MPH? what a waste of effort... yeah you can get 90 miles to the gallon but do you really have 6 hours to spare to do those 90 miles?

  • Many hypermilers tailgate to get better mpgs. I think that this practice is dangerous, and NEVER do it. A lot of people roll with the engine off in cars that have servo brakes and steering. This is dodgy as well. A Prius is a hybrid, and designed to be driven like this. I hypermile in a Renault 4. It doesn't have servo brakes or steering (or a catalyser) What does this mean? I have a very durable car, cheap and easy to repair when it infrequently goes wrong, and still does over 60 mpg

  • Talking all big behind your screen... You are lucky you don't live near me!

  • the p&G technique is in the speed range of 42mph down to 28mph..then you apply gas back up to 42mph..then feather..the ICE shuts off completely, anyway it can be dangerous on certrain roads. I only do it on 35mph or less roads, not on 45MPH+ but not always.

    sometimes I go 80 on the freeway and still get 43 mpg

  • i did this at first, but not really anymore, depends on the road. I just drive it anymore, and still get about 49mpg..good enough.
