Hypermiling
Hypermiling is a proposed way to save gas using practice methods that most people don't practice in their daily commutes. This zine is a place for people to share tips and news on hypermiling.

Yesterday I was talking to a pal who asked me how much could he save from gas with hypermiling techniques; after I told him, he was pretty shocked and realized how wrong he had been driving all this time.

These are the hypermiler techniques I suggested he started using:
