Jay2TheRescue: I try to make it an educational experience. ;)

Yeah, but some of the people I associate with think that hypermiling is crazy, but then they marvel @ my MPG knowing that I drive mostly in stop & go city traffic.

perhaps a flier attached to the passenger dashboard explaining all about hypermiling. it would keep them quiet while you are busy saving fuel.

Jay2TheRescue 10-10-2008 07:21 PM

How about something like this affixed to the passenger side of the dashboard...

You might want to fix the misspelling. It's "engage". And "brilliant"...though that one's not getting pasted to a glove box so it doesn't matter as much.

weird my spell checker didn't catch that.

I pasted the Warning sign on my glove box.

Jay2TheRescue 10-11-2008 11:29 AM

Sorry, my spell checker didn't catch that either. Sorry about that. My bad. I'll fix it.

EDIT: Its fixed now. Everyone do a CTRL+reload

Did a controlled test on Sunday, driving to church with the family on board. That's about 200lb extra. 57.4 mpg there, 55.1 back. My average for that route, driving solo, is 63 mpg. I hypermiled it to the best of my ability, and weather and traffic were simply perfect.

+200 lb (+9% weight) = 11% worse MPG.
