Hypermiling on a Highway Commute
Posted on 13. Nov, 2008 by Anna in Hypermiling, Hypermiling Videos
Driving home from NKU on I-471 to 71 75 South via Cincinnati. Driving absurdly slowly (50 MPH) and hypermiling.
I got 49.8 mpg in a Toyota Echo (EPA: 29 37) on that trip and I regularly average in the high 40’s or low 50’s when I gas up.
