Saw this on one of the morning programs and thought I'd post in the hot tub as many of the gas threads are here.

I think the Flintstonemobile was the way to go.

I saw the news advertising this but missed it when it aired. I do not think I can do this because I am a bit of a fast driver and can not slow down.

Better milage... I'm trying to learn some of it.

Try to not catch up to traffic... go a bit slower than the flow ... let faster cars pass me... anticipate traffic light changes to keep from catching the mob (stopped at the light).

Learning to ease out is going to be a long time coming.

I tried while we were on vacation this past week to hypermile, but I think I picked the wrong place to do it. Arkansas, near Eureka Springs, is nothing but winding, hilly roads. Going down the hills weren't a problem, but at the speed I could have reached, I would have never been able to negotiate the curves.

There is no way it can be done in Queens NY without getting the finger.
