It is an automatic. That brings me to a question I have after going through all of the tips last night. This statement scared me a little:

Does anyone know if this applies to my 2001 Accord? I have been using this technique a little bit and haven't noticed any adverse effects, but I'm a bit scared to continue.
I will add it to the garage right now. I have also been tracking it at

That computer looks awesome. Everything I have read about hypermiling has said the best thing you can do is to get one of these so that you are aware immediately of the impact of certain techniques on your mileage. I think one may be in my future. Thanks for the link!
