Hypermiling (Gas Mileage Feats!)

TheWeatherman · 05-06-2009, 10:08 AM

These people are my favorite. It takes them about 30 minutes to go on a drive that would take other people 10. When they think a light is going to turn red, they shut off their engine and coast to the stop like 4 blocks ahead. What I laugh about is the stress they put on the componentry by turning on and off the car the whole time. What they saved in gas, they will make up by buying new parts (eg. starter motor). If you want a car that was designed to do that, you buy a hybrid. If you are hypermiling in a Z, you are required, as per the370z.com, to paint your car a bright shade of green with leaf patterns all over it. You are also required to grow dreads, and wear an apron without ever bathing.
