You can hypermile a Beemer and make it sip like a Prius - well, sort of.
But you can't make a Prius handle like a Beemer  |
I disagree. Try a set of lowering springs, rear sway bar, and 17" wheels.
after that it all comes down to who has the biggest sack. lol
Whoever said you cannot hypermile a Prius obviously knows nothing about the car. You can drive it normally and as long as you avoid lots of short trips you can easily achieve EPA ratings. Drive with a bit of care or stick to the freeway at speeds below 65mph and you should have no problem getting 50-55mpg per tank. Start hypermiling and 118mpg is the limit thus far. Ecomod it and hypermile it and tell us what you get. lol
Today I drove mostly freeway speeds of 65mph for 290 miles with a few stops in a national park and I ended the trip at 56mpg. It's really not hard to beat EPA in these things when you know how to take advantage of hybrid technology.
