Re: Hypermiling in a Hummer
I've read about this and even seen a show on hypermiling and it can be dangerous if you're into "advanced hypermiling". Some techniques can be illegal.
From what I've gleened from several articles is look much farther down the road so you can avoid using the brakes as much as possible. Accelerate slowly and smoothly, get off gas going downhill, safely draft (not tailgate), and then a whole bunch of other unsafe things like tailgating, riding in the blind spot of big rigs to use the suction effect, driving at 50 mph on the highway and cutting the engine.
I'm sure someone out there will chime in with the proper and legal way to do it.
