One "hypermiling" technique that is not ever mentioned, yet very low in cost
and high in safety is "jackstands." This January I will have gotten 8 years
of Tiger ownership enjoyment and spent zero dollars on gas and insurance.
Though I will have to admit that repair costs have still been rather high.
Perhaps (I say with a pondering pause) "next year" all that should change.
My 1991 Mazda 323 with a highway estimate of 37 MPG has gotten 45 MPG. My
wife's Mazda MPV with an estimated 23 MPG has gotten 28+ MPG. So, when I
apply the techniques of hypermiling it does benefit my Tiger in that I an
"load-banking" (another term for "word of the year" consideration) fuel for
the future. Thankfully, in the case of hypermiling , "the mileage you get
may vary" is often a positive statement.
