CNET hypermiles
I stumbled on this on YouTube

CNET. Com covers hypermiling. Nothing new to us, and but is hypermiling now becoming main stream?

Just thought I'd share

How To: Hypermile​ and get great gas mileage​: How To: Hypermile

I thought they were well done; often with this sort of thing there is some glaring flaw.

He shouldn't have even mentioned P&G or drafting.

Should have talked more about idling and DWL / DWB, route planning, warm up time, low speed in neutral ect.

But no he talks about an advanced technique and illegal drafting.

Considering the average attention span of people today, I think they presented hypermiling perfectly.
