There are standard procedures for Hypermilers... These include.. 1. Keep moving as long as possible. 2. Keep the A/C switched off.... A/C increases fuel consumption by upto 15% 3.

Keep tyre pressures at their correct levels. Incorrect tyre pressures sre one of the biggest causes of increased fuel consumption. 6. Don`t be afraid to... Read Full Story

There are other techniques which I regularly practice... 1. I ALWAYS reverse into parking spaces ready to drive straight out of. Reversing on a warm engine uses alot less fuel than doing the same manouvre on a cold engine. 2. When starting my car, its engine started and away. I do not start my car and sit and wait.
