I have read the hypermiling tips, and with the exception of eoc and drafting, they are pretty much all identical to the safe driving tips I was taught when I worked as a bus driver. I am mechanically inclined, and I have been thinking about doing a tranny swap, but I was thinking about swapping in a 4spd manual from a chevy nova, and adding a gear splitter/overdrive from gear vendors. Your suggestion though seems like it may be easier and probably cheaper. Frank, glad to hear that about your nova, since my apollo is about 90-95% identical to a nova I should see similar results. Unfortunately my idea for the dollar store punch bowls didn't work, they just crack and shattered when I tried to cut them.
