A thought or two or three....... Posted by Herb Hirsch [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Hypermiling, Cruise Control and my right foot, Wasabi, Wed, 9 Jul 2008 05:53:47 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I too am interested in ideas in the area of maintenance approaches, driving techniques and alternative transportation strategies all with an eye towards improving MPG....the new hot topic for 2008, and likely many years to come.
In that vein, I have sent an email suggestion to Scott that there may be sufficient justification to open up a new BB....MPG. Posts keep appearing on this subject
To-date, I have only pursued the low-lying-fruit.....tire pressure, a lighter foot and more moderate speeds. All these things are yielding results. However, I’d really like to take it to the next level. I have observed that stop and go driving absolutely kills MPG. I am making more of an effort to plan local trips.
I am planning to not use the A/C for a couple of tanks of gas to see what effect that might have. With temperatures in the 80’s and 90’s here in NJ accompanied by high humidity I’ve put off not using the A/C.
