Comment Fuel efficiency is the wrong metric (Score 1) 1114
Most of the hypermiling I've read about is about increasing mileage, not about using less fuel. Some of the techniques involve driving out of your way if you know you can get above average mileage for doing so. To me, this is silly.
If you want to save money on fuel, use less fuel.
For example, because a warm engine is way more efficient than a cold engine, trip combining can be a big fuel saver. Similarly, with only a little planning, preparing dinner at home saves fuel.
Perhaps we should call this Agile Driving? ... eXtreme Driving? ...Lean Driving?
