Driving efficiently

  • Economy driving online video: The Next Time You Get Gas - Free online video shows economy driving methods and culminates with a comparison of "normal" vs. efficient driving. Efficiency gains of 27% and 23.5%, respectively, are achieved using the techniques described. (Oct 16/05)

  • Car Talk's guide to better fuel economy - Click and Clack weigh in with many of the same tips from the metroMPG video (above link). (Oct 16/05)

  • Hybrid Cars - Driving strategy for better gas mileage - And you thought I was fanatical about mileage... Some of the techniques are strictly hybrid specific, but most apply to all cars. Smart folks. Good signal:noise ratio in these forums. (Nov 8/05)

  • ScanGauge - Digital diagnostic tool that plugs into the ODBII port of any post-1996 car. Also functions as a trip computer to show instant/average fuel consumption for fine-tuning driving technique and testing efficiency mods. (Nov 8/05)
