I read about some group or club ( I think of highly obsessive people lol) that do this for fun or entertainment. I think they even have competitions and meetings and stuff.....cant remember what they were called...There IS a term for them...

:werd: read an article like that.  They park on hills, etc. so they can get rolling starts, shut the car off on coasts, coast a lot longer than they really should, obsessively time lights,  I think they're called hypermilagers or something? :dunno:

I actually did this recently.  I'm used to driving on the freeway at about 75 or so, and usually get 17-18 in my f250.  This last tank, I did 65, and wound up with 22mpg :woohoo:

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "

"I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves."

Don't take life too seriously, it isn't permanent
