How To Save Gas By Hypermiling
In North Andover, Massachusetts, Matt Herring teaches how to save gas by following his hypermiling tips. Before his commuters get started, he advises them to fill up at the same gas station using the same pump and track savings with a $160 scan gauge (an electronic device that provides data on how much money each trip costs you). You can also visit www.ecomodder.com to log your fuel economy, he adds. He will check www.fueleconomy.gov to see how your car is rated. He’ll measure tire pressure, advising that the average car inflates from 32 to 44 psi in the summer to increase your MPG 5%. In the winter, he will advise you to drop it back down because higher psi reduces traction. He adds that items like engine grill blocks, engine block heaters and foam pipe insulation can save you 50 miles per tank in the winters. In this article, you’ll read about more ways to save money on gasoline.
The first step many hypermilers take is to track their mileage, so they have a clearer understanding of what works best for their vehicles. They can compare how they drive on Monday to how they drive on Tuesday. They can glance down at something called a Scan Gauge to see how many MPG they’re using or even how much money a certain trip cost them in gas. The Scan Gauge isn’t exactly cheap (with a price tag around $160), but the installation is painless. Experts say that being conscious of how accelerating, braking and driving techniques affect your gas mileage can really make an enormous difference and most drivers save an instant 10% of gas this way.
One technique used to save gas is called “hypermiling coasting,” which can be quite dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. During this trick, drivers who are going downhill will shift to neutral gear, turn the key from “Run” to “Acc,” and return to “Run” once the engine stops. Drivers must be careful not to accidentally switch to “Off” or their steering will lock up and they must also make sure they resume their key to the “Run” position or they’ll be in danger of locking up and crashing. They should only do this technique when they’re coasting down a straight hill that doesn’t have twists or turns involved. While this may sound crazy, the hypermiler forum website www.ecomodder.com says, “Engine-off coasting is one of the largest contributors to increased efficiency of hybrid vehicles, many of which automatically shut down the engine while the accelerator is released and the vehicle is coasting.”
Any hypermiling guru understands that to save gas safely one must be alert on the road. Motorists are accustomed to driving defensively to watch out for speeders, tailgaters and people who will cut them off without signaling. They are not as accustomed to drivers who accelerate slowly, drive under the speed limit or turn off their engines while coasting. The careful hypermiler must make sure he’s watching the road and not being wholly distracted by his Scan Gauge. He must, in essence, drive like he’s on a bike. While it’s not prudent to drive 20 MPG everywhere, it is a good idea to lose a few miles per hour going uphill but save that momentum coming back down again. Cars burn the most fuel when going uphill (sort of like how the most energy is expended riding a bike uphill), so the driver must be patient and apply the gas lightly in these situations to avoid the need to hard-brake later.
