About the time gas prices shot through the roof during the downturn I sold my 12 mpg Land Rover and bought a Ford Festiva (Black Widow) and began the journey of learning to hypermile the same route I had driven carelessly for decades.

A Festiva, two Honda Insights and a Chevy Volt later I realize there's always a better, more efficient route or a new tweak to my driving habits available, depending on the vehicle, traffic patterns, the time of year, time of day, etc . . . .

Luckily my Volt reacts best to what is also the shortest route to my job, so it's been an awesome car/route combination lateyl

You're always in a learning curve as a hypermiler!
