I think, in general, I'll stick to the topic of hypermiling in terms of her discussion and experience with me (focusing on the benefits of it and our lesson experience). I'm not an expert on hybrid environmental issues so offering any advice/opinion on it would detract from my goal of promoting hypermiling and my business.

I'd rather not get into that aspect of the hybrid and just focus on hypermiling with some easy to do techniques and mods that any car and driver can do:

1. Max psi
2. P&G (will mention that I do neutral coast but don't want to alert any ears for illegal coasting in terms of teaching people to do it)
3. Driving efficiently (moderate acceleration, timing lights and traffic, low use of brakes, etc.)
4. Grill block (using my $2 Home Depot solution)
5. EBH (will mention it because we're in the cold climate)
6. Fuel logs (will give ecomodder a good mention and tell her how "awesome, great, exciting and amazing the site is!!!")
