Anyone Seeking Good Gas Mileage, Must Read
This Guy Can Get 59 MPG in a Plain Old Accord. Beat That, Punk.
this is an awesome read. somewhat lengthy, but definitely a cool story. i think this should be stickied. |
Some of the stuff that guy does is STUPID. Sure, you get more fuel efficiency, but seriously... There's a point where you're going too far.
|
i agree. but his mentality is spot on. parking so you have a clear exit, the fact that he slowed to a stop when the lady sped up and SLAMMED on the brakes.
things like that will help. and damn, 180MPG in an insight!! that's just crazy! |
I remember reading that............obsessed, that is what my wifes says I am and all I want to do is break 50mpg.:p Time is obviously NOT a concern for him.
|
yeah lol. but, you definitely can't argue with his results. he's getting 59mpg in an accord!!! people aren't even doing that in fits LOL

Good read, but the practicality of some of the techniques would drive me crazy in everyday situations. No A/C or windows down when its warm sucks bigtime.
