Don't Honk----We're hypermiling

If you see us driving slow, don't honk. We have taken up hypermiling. Seriously, we have added at least 2 miles per gallon by pretending we are 80 years old. Jim thinks that it also takes all the stress out of driving. I was trying to follow him yesterday in a separate car and it was like following a 80 year old. However, I've taken up his theory today and I tend to agree with him about reducing the stress level. Now I'm on a hypermiling campaign. I think it works while walking too. Why walk fast when you can save energy and live a more stress free life.



Now, if I could only get to work on time...

I didn't know that was what it's called, but I'm also doing hypermiling.It definitly is less stressful, especially when driving in a city like Atl.It seems to me that our driving speed becomes a habit.
