Trevor Noah's mum is an Hypermiler!!
 

Im sure this is the wrong place for this but it IS very funny and cool. Daily Show host and stand up comedian Trevor Noah wrote an autobiography and on a road trip last night (bought a 1G Insight!) we were listening to the audio version of that book. Somewhere in the middle he tells how his mother wouldn't waste a drop of gas and goes on a hilarious, detailed description of her hypermiling techniques including having her kids push the car in traffic jams!!! Super hilarious!!

OK, well that makes 2 books I've heard of that describe fuel-saving techniques as a point of interest.

The other one was about a trip in India (I think) where the writer's motorcycle taxi driver killed the engine on the downhill portions of the drive... which scared the wee out of her.

Hardcore!

Love it! :D
