I read an article, I don't remember where, but it was about hypermiling/eco-driving. I realized I was spending twice more in diesel than one year ago. I searched about hypermiling/eco-driving and I found several sites and articles on wikipedia.
During several months I read blogs as ecogeek, carectomy... (the current obsession was solar panels and reducing co2/uranium use) then I read an article about fuel efficiency and remembered what I found several months sooner and found back ecomodder, gassaver and cleanmpg. After one month of attempts to apply the different found tips, I wanted to subscribe on a forum to register our two cars and so execute one of the tips : track the fuel consumption. As I was reading more ecomodder than the other forums, I chose ecomodder.

Once again, thanks to all for all that good knowledge :-)

Regards,

Denis.

After seeing a clip on hypermiling on Yahoo (GMA), I searched for what HM was about and stumbled onto MetroMPG's 100+ tips. From there, found a link to this. Technically I guess it was Google but since I used another website I figured that would fall under "other".
