Hi!

I saw the hypermiling technics, i naturally use some of them, thanks. The best hypermiling tips i saw was the corridor effect, the fuel consumption went from 3.3L to 3.1L at 110 km/h speed (69 mph).

Another very good hypermiling tips was one that Vekka "lupo 2L" gave me. He said to accelerate before a hill, when the road is plane, and then to slowly decrease speed on the hill. Accelerate before the hill was something i never do, i already slowly release the accelerate on the hill, but the acceleration before is a very good way to reduce consumption.

And the last tips which is very relaxing is to brake a lot when you saw a red light, to never stop.

My father told me something about the "turbo" effect on a hill. When you have to maintain your speed on a hill, just release a bit the accelerator, and you will feel the turbo better and the consumtpion will decrease a bit. Do you know something about?
