I quoted a number of different sources with a lot of the same main tips but a few other ones as well: http://local-warming.blogspot.com/2008/07/hypermiling-tips-to-save-gas-mpg-and.html<BR/><BR/>Shannonsmoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13914363385878149915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29774939.post-69630464813403851952008-09-29T18:24:00.000-04:002008-09-29T18:24:00.000-04:00hmm, interesting.

Cause Mini-cooper's got almost the exact the same tips on the Carfunfootprint.com site. The only one they had that eco didn't is a note about using pro car washers vs. doing it at home:<BR/><BR/>"Taking your car to a commercial car wash can actually be better for the environment than washing at home. Several commercial car washes use recycled water, and on average can use less than half the water than washing at home."<BR/><BR/>Very interesting. I should tell that to my neighbor. He washes his car in the driveway and gets toxic cleaner all over my side lawn...Happy Lo-Meinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358353633572720241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29774939.post-74497403878512269942008-09-29T10:55:00.000-04:002008-09-29T10:55:00.000-04:00These are great tips!

Most drivers of automatics don't think about it, but if you are moving along really slowly, keep your car in 1st or 2nd (depending on speed). If you've never driven a stick, listen to your engine revs, but you can estimate 1st until about 15 mph, then 2nd until 30mph or so. This should help with the rolling along and minimize stops.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
