Hypermiling made easy

The six secrets of fuel efficiency

*INSTALL a scan gauge for real- time gas mileage feedback (http://scangauge.com).

*INCREASE your tire pressure to maximum psi to reduce rubber/ road friction.

*REMOVE unnecessary gear racks to improve aerodynamic efficiency.

*ACCELERATE slowly and steadily and minimize braking. Anticipate slowdowns and built in buffer zones with other cars.

*DRIVE in the low- pressure wake created by passing vehicles.

*LAY OFF the gas on steep descent and let gravity do the work. On flat highways, set your cruise control to ten mph below the speed limit.

GLOSSARY:

tire pressure- ciśnienie w oponach
friction- tarcie
gear- napęd
braking- hamowanie
lay off- zwalniać
cruise control- system dostosowujący prędkość pojazdu

    Example:
    The minister got it wrong when he said prices will come down. They’ve gone up.
