I just read an article about something called hypermiling. To me it does not sound like the safest way to save gas. I have been totally successful in saving gas by slowing down. Yes some road raging idiots driving huge gas guzzlers were getting mad at me a while ago, but i follow the speed limit and that definitely helps me save on gas. Another great way ive been saving gas is by coasting. First of all i have a manual transmission. So while im driving i start out in either 1st or 2nd gear, but then i skip to fourth and if going down a hill i can even skip right to 5th gear. When i am going down a hill i find it very easy for me to keep up the speed while coasting in neutral. This blog was in response to an article i read about hypermiling
