What driving techniques do you use ? |
Every trick in the book, as far as I know, except P&G since the car has a turbo. Keeping speeds low is probably the biggest single thing I do, and is made easy with my commute since almost half of it is on a road with a speed limit of 60 km/h.
This tank was an exception, however, since my normal driving has been closer to 50 MPG. I spent more time than usual cruising at lower speeds.
This forum definitely inspired some creative driving... seeing what some people are capable of pushed me to try harder.
EDIT: I should add that the car is fairly stock, with only tire pressures increased, wider spark plug gaps and lowering springs as the things that have a potential to increase mileage. The Eco's super tall 6th gear makes hypermiling this car fairly easy.
