Hi,
is there any differences in hypermiling techniques when driving diesel car? I made search and did not find such topic.

Maybe some tips are in petrol only, some for diesel only? Would like to know. Lets discuss these differences here.

Q1) Does pulse and glide (in neutral) make same % difference compared to steady speed drive than in petrol car. I think it probably does not give same amount of difference beacause diesel does not have throttling losses.

If I am lucky, I have new car tomorrow evening...diesel
