The Ultimate Honda Civic Hybrid Hypermiling Guide

Published 18 December 06 01:04 PM | JoeFuture

From CleanMPG.com, user tarabell posted this excellent article complete with scientific experimentation testing various driving strategies with the Honda Civic Hybrid.  The article goes into depth about why various approaches work better than others, how to drive on flat roads vs. hills, why you shouldn't run at higher than 1900 rpm, and why slow = better mileage.  There's even a hack to gain an extra .2 mpg by disabling some electronics features (I won't spoil the hack, you'll have to read the article for yourself).

After reading the hypermiling guide , I finished my last tank at 503.9 miles and 48.2 mpg. Not bad considering
