Hypermiling. It's a favorite word of many hybrid
owners striving to best past fuel economy records.
Plus, the various energy monitors on many hybrid
cars essentially force hypermiling.
Pulse and glide. Drafting. B Gear. Different driving
conditions require different hypermiling techniques.
My favorite congestion technique, especially on short
trips, is hitting the gas pedal. Yeah, that's right.
After a cold start, a little extra gas seems to
optimize engine performance, probably because of the
Atkinson cycle.
Likewise, in these conditions, shutting off your
console screen and AC can also have big effects on
fuel economy.
What are your favorite hybrid hypermiling tools and
tricks?
