Hypermilers

This Guy Can Get 59 MPG in a Plain Old Accord. Beat That, Punk.

Drafting 18-wheelers with the engine off, taking death turns at 52 miles an hour, and other lessons learned while riding shotgun with the king of the hypermilers

Yeah, this guy is getting a lot of press – pretty annoying to me. The local news was presenting his ideas as good gas savings tips a few nights ago:

-driving much slower than traffic
-drafting behind large vehicles
-not slowing down for turns
-shutting down the car when heading downhill

This is dangerous and reckless behavior for street driving, and certainly not justifiable because someone’s fuel bill went up by $4 per week…

The state of the US news industry these days is appalling. They have simply become entertainers and bad ones at that.

IMHO :D
