Start Hypermiling and Save Time, Fuel and Money! Anthony Bradley Hypermiling is not just about saving money, but radically changing the way you drive and maintain your car as well as totally changing the way you think about it. In fact, it's a paradigm shift in the way you think about cars. Hypermiling is a special way of driving that will help you to reduce your car fuel costs, by increasing the mileage you get out of your existing car and fuel. Hypermiling techniques will help you to save your hard-earned money instead of having your gas-thirsty monster burn it like no tomorrow. You may find it hard to believe that, just by changing the way you drive, you can make a huge difference to your mileage, but you'll be surprised at how much of a difference this makes. Hypermilers can achieve vastly improved mpg, sometimes up to 90 miles per gallon. Imagine how much that kind of fuel economy would save you! You can find out your car's miles per gallon by a bit of simple math. Just divide the difference on your odometer from the point when you had a full tank of gas and when you had an empty tank by how much your fuel tank holds. The figure that you calculated is your fuel mileage. It's possible that you can double this figure just by hypermiling. The good thing is, as a hypermiler you're not only saving money but you are also saving the planet by causing less pollution. Hypermiling is becoming very popular and becoming a hypermiler is a great way to save money and keep the planet greener. Once you've been bitten by the hypermiling bug you'll never want to go back to your old driving habits, as the money you save will be enormous. Hypermiling definitely gives you more bang for your buck. And it's not just about saving money at the gas pump by getting vastly improved mpg, but on things such like car maintenance, as your car will have less wear and tear thanks to the positive effects of hypermiling. By using hypermiling effectively, you can also save on brake replacements, engine oil changes, as well as other regular maintenance expenses on your car. Some people use fuel additives like acetone which can almost double your mileage for next to nothing, as you only need two ounces of pure acetone in a couple of gallons of fuel to achieve a increased mileage figure. A word of caution though. It is important to get pure acetone as impurities will make the fuel mixture dangerous and may even damage your engine. You also need to be careful when handling acetone because acetone dissolves paint, so don't bring it into contact with the paint on your car, avoid skin contact and not inhale it. Adding a small amount of acetone helps in improving the longevity of your engine, improves combustion and increases mileage by almost 40 percent. All in all, hypermiling will take the pressure off your wallet at the gas station as well as saving you money on car expenses. So is there any reason for you to delay saving a lot of money? Stop wasting time, money and fuel and start hypermiling today. And just think, if everyone was to save even a little bit of fuel, and everybody does their bit, the world will be a much greener place and we will have fuel reserves to last us longer.
