Go Green with the WBCA!
"Going Green" Tip of the Week: Enter the Hypermiler
With today's record gas prices burning holes in the pockets of drivers across the country, we all wish our cars got better fuel efficiency. But as we complain about the pitifully few miles to the gallon our vehicles achieve, experienced hypermilers say that drivers should be more efficient as well.
Whether you drive a Prius or a fire truck, a little hypermiling could likely get you more miles to the gallon and in some cases a lot more--up to 100 miles per gallon in a hybrid.
-Don't slam on the brakes or stomp on the gas. Rapid starts and abrupt stops waste fuel.
-Time stoplights so that you don't waste gas idling in front of them. If there's a red light ahead, slow down to give it a chance to turn green.
- Park efficiently. Look for spots on downward slopes and use gravity instead of the engine to start moving.
