Have you or any of HYPERMILERS thought about making a how to movie or book. Essentialy an Idiots guide to ... getting better MPG or maybe a driving clininc?
You guys could helps save the world and make some ca$h:)
Hi CoasterToasterXB:
___I thought that was what this web site was for ;) Unfortunately, Tom and I are sinking in $’s a lot faster then we are receiving any when it comes to the cash side of the equation :(
___Although some of the techniques we discuss and I use on a daily basis are at the bleeding edge, I don’t think the advanced ones should be used by the general public. Just too much to consider when pulling into a D-FAS before a crest in heavy traffic knowing a stop and crawl is just 3,000 feet ahead. Imagine doing that while the lady pulling the same right next to you is applying makeup while on the Cel phone and reading the paper … Just to much of that on the highway these days :(
___Hopefully the long distance PHEV’s and EV’s arrive long before we are all actually forced to use the fuel saving techniques to their nth degree and then we can move onto something a bit more cool. Like how many miles/Wh we are receiving from our 32 kWh EEStor CAP based power storage units :D
___We hold hypermiling clinics at every Milwaukee and most Madison Hybrid group meets but I find the best clinics are when I have someone over at my home and we can go through the whole tool box in an area I am intimately familiar with. I will offer a clinic to anyone willing to take the time because I believe they are worth every second of my time as well.
___Good Luck
___Wayne

This is a incredible web site. Loads of info and knowledgeable people here. I wish more people would visit and take interest. I can only imagine if people really cared what could be accomplished. People drive like animals on the road and the bitch and moan their car only gets 18 MPG.
