Hypermiling anyone?

No response, how sad.

 

I do it all the time, I have a Prius C, Ford F250, and Jeep Cherokee.

 

Couple quick tricks for ya, the vehicle puts your comfort over efficiency so don't leave the AC setting ON when you actually turn it off. It tries to keep it at the ready if you had AC on then turned the fan off. In town I get better MPG driving windows down versus AC, but the highway is a tossup.

 

With the Jeep I've noticed better mileage by far neutral shifting coasting (lowers engine rpm several hundred), but I'm not going to make a habit out of it until I know more about the transmission. Plus its a lot of work...

 

40v mild hybrids were supposed to be a thing soon, I'd love to ditch the starter and alternator for one of those kits lol
