Hey, everyone. My name is Devon, and I'm in Knoxville, Tennessee. I've got a 28 mile commute to work every day. I'm also responsible for all my daughter's transportation between my place and her mom's (40 miles) for my weekly time with her. I'm desperate for ways to minimize the impact of all this driving on my meager salary. I have already enjoyed modest improvements after employing some hypermiling techniques. I've got a six-cylinder 2001 Accord. I measured my mileage at about 28mpg just after buying the vehicle. I just measured at 31.5mpg after starting some of the techniques. I'm excited for bigger gains, but I ultimately want to get away from a gas powered vehicle altogether. Hopefully, there will someday be a viable electric alternative for people driving longer distances regularly like myself.
Oh yeah. Feel free to check out
my blog. I have a pretty eclectic range of interests so don't be surprised to find some weird stuff there.
I'm looking forward to getting involved here. Now, off to browse the forums!
