Hypermiling Your Car

Hypermiling your car will save you money, but you’ve got to be smart about it. “Hypermiling” became a dictionary word two years ago, as a substantial number of people were discussing hypermiling tips on message boards. A number of Americans have found ways to save up to $1,000 per year simply by changing their driving habits ever so slightly. The most ardent advocates will tell you they shut off their engines while driving sometimes, while others simply slow down their driving a bit. In this article, you’ll learn about some of the best tricks of the trade and some of the issues involved.

Hypermiling is your best defense against rising gas prices and unemployment, says thirty-three-year-old Scott Kosinski of Newfane, New York. This hypermiler has several strategies he uses to increase gas mileage. For instance, when he drove nineteen hours to Alabama’s Talladega Speedway, he intentionally tailgated tractor trailers the whole way to break his wind resistance, which saved his Chevy Impala eight miles per gallon (MPG), compared to Environmental Protection Agency standards. Another trick he does to lighten his load is take the extra seats out of his family mini-van. When he’s pulling into gas stations or parking lots, he shuts off his engine and coasts in. He’s also famous for trying to time the lights just right, he says. When he sees a red, he immediately takes his foot off the gas and coasts to the light, rather than speeding up and slamming on the breaks. “Some people don’t like it, but hey, I’m gonna get there and save on gas,” he explains.

Hypermiling your car is also about sending a message about energy conservation, says Meaghan Boice-Green of Sanborn, New York. “If you’re driving in such a way that you’re going to save gas, you’re also going to be helping the environment,” she explains. As a general rule, she drives the speed limit, avoids hard-breaking, avoids quick acceleration and avoids trips whenever possible. This hypermiler also had her 2005 Volkswagen Jetta converted from diesel to a vegetable oil and alternative fuel hybrid at Fossil Free Fuel in Braddock, Pennsylvania. After putting in $3,000 of modifications, including a four-gallon diesel tank in the trunk, a second fuel filter, a heat exchanger, valves and a computer monitor, Boice-Green is able to get 150 MPG in the summer and 80 MPG in the winter before her car ever switches to diesel. Given her 45 minute commute to work, the car has already paid for itself.

A serious hypermiling guru like Scott Kosinski uses the Scan Gauge to check MPG while driving. You simply plug the $169 device into your car and when hypermiling your car, you can check to see how many MPG you’re getting. If you punch in the price of gas, you’ll even see how much money each trip costs you, Kosinski explains. The gauge can help you see what practices are most effective for your situation and give you a better picture of what factors influence your mileage the most. Moreover, when you see how much each trip costs, you may also think twice before taking that trip at all next time!
