Well, I saw the CNN video about the dude Hypermiling his car and thought maybe I might give it a try myself.
I have a 2003 Lexus GS300 which I drive daily and according to fueleconomy.gov my car supposedly gets a combined MPG of 18. Normally I will run the car till the fuel light comes on which is roughly 380-400 miles.
My goal is out of curiousity, but to see how much I can squeeze out of the car, with least effort and without going to the extreme as far as methods are concerned.
I think putting the car in neutral and shutting it off while coasting is a little extreme in my opinion. I'm trying to be realistic when trying to save gas, and using simple techniques like coasting and limited braking, keeping the RPM's down while accelerating and utilizing cruise control, which everyone can do without too much effort.
I filled my car up last night and noted how many gallons I put in the car and slightly over-inflated my tires. We'll see what happenes from here on out! OH, and I noticed the ECT SNOW function on my car limits the throttle inputs quite a bit so hopefully I'll see a difference by the end of this tank.
