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. 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

 

bump for more people to read this article

 

That dude has like a mental health condition that causes him to be compolsive!!! If I had a mt I might play w/ some of those ideas...

 

That's Wayne from cleanMPG.com
He was just on the CBS early show monday, after driving a Prius form Chicago to NYC on a single tank.

Double Your Gas Mileage By "Hypermiling", Expert Tells How, Then He, Benno Schmit, And Bianca Solorzano Give It A Go - CBS News

 

That is a given. You will always get better mileage if you stay in a semi truck's draft.

 

it isn't just that. all his methods combined work wonders on the fuel economy

 

And yet no one believes me in my 70 MPG thread

 

ehhhh... i don't agree with your gas filling techniques. not calling you a liar or anything, but you must have some AWESOME weather conditions and only drive down hill.

 

Until they slam on the brakes and you rear-end them.

 

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.

 

What a man! I genuflect at the altar of Wayne Gertes. I have threatened my wife to begin driving like he does. I love it!

 

you and me both lol.

 

You long-time members are really reaching to find the most unflattering pictures of hypermiling, while ignoring videos like this one...a rational person would investigate and try it before coming to a conclusion.

To all these ranters that hardly know what hypermiling is calling Wayne mental - you guys aren't looking at the loser in the mirror that truly needs the thearpy.



Hypermilers are CRAZY!!!

Get your act together like ME!!!!
