So, he just taught everyone how to drive properly. Sarcasm aside, truly, we are wasting fuel, ruining vehicles, and having far too many accidents because we don’t drive like this man.
You mentioned not shutting the engine off as it wears the battery and starter. I do this, but I have a stick shift, and only do it on an incline where I can pop the clutch
@@rorri2372 Well, I replaced the clutch for the first time a few years ago as well as the transmission bearings. I think I had about 320,000 miles on the car. I don't think my actions shortened the life of it
So embarrassing, this is just poverty, intead of speding this much of time creating a plan to save fuel and drive slow, go ahead and spend that time working harder or start a business and make money
That depends on the amount of driving you do. I put about 25,000 miles per year on my car. In California, gas is usually $4.50 to $5.50 per gallon. I'll say an average of $5. 20mpg = 1,250 gallons = $6,250 per year gas 30mpg = 833 gallons = $4,166 per year gas 40mpg = 625 gallons = $3125 per year gas 60mpg = 416 gallons = $2083 per year gas 20mpg = many trucks when driven with mild hypermiling - or gas only cars with a lead-foot 30mpg = many gas only cars when driven normally 40mpg = many gas cars when hypermiling - or hybrids driven normally 60mpg = hybrids driven with hypermiling Taking my gas-only moderately-efficient car and hypermiling (EPA rated 30mpg but I can get 40mpg) is a savings of $1,000 per year. If I were to get a hybrid and do the same, I could cut my gas bill down by more than $2,000 per year compared to my current moderately efficient gas-only car at EPA rating. Maybe it is worth $1,000 or $2,000 per year to you to engage in the lead-foot habit. To me and to many, this is enough savings to justify integrating gas-consciousness into driving habits. And once you have the habit, you don't even pay attention to it because these things become ... habit!
Hypermiling goes beyond just saving gas. You're literally driving the safest way by preparing ahead, light use of throttle prolongs engine life, lesser use of brakes prolongs brake life, suspension life extends too, and the most underrated gain... A smooth drive each and everytime. I used to drive more aggressively in the past, but hypermiling has really helped me enjoy my ride better in most situations. It's efficiency all the way 🎉
😑when you're a hypermiler and you see a stop sign at the bottom of a hill😭

So good, Chris! Excellent information.
I would imagine not filling your tank full just driving around town being 1 gallon of fluid is around 8 lbs.

Wears all the transmission system, and it's not functional and it's dangerous

What is the name of the computer module you have on your windshield and where do you get it?
It’s probably a scanguage or similar.
Why a Kia soul 😭 it’s a literal box
Anything can be hypermiled, I suppose...
It's not aerodynamic. A Toyota Prius or Corolla is.
Buy a hybrid. Toyota or Lexus only
or honda

What if your job is driving?
@@elephant1851 in that case yea but you still have to do something to not be this poor with poor midnset
unc thinks I’m an adventure capitalist 😭

40mpg = 625 gallons = $3125 per year gas
60mpg = 416 gallons = $2083 per year gas
20mpg = many trucks when driven with mild hypermiling - or gas only cars with a lead-foot
30mpg = many gas only cars when driven normally
40mpg = many gas cars when hypermiling - or hybrids driven normally
60mpg = hybrids driven with hypermiling
Taking my gas-only moderately-efficient car and hypermiling (EPA rated 30mpg but I can get 40mpg) is a savings of $1,000 per year.
