If you read my article on braking, you know that the best way to make an anticipated stop is to use a long, slow brake that engages active regeneration. If you haven’t read that one yet, spoilers!

From time to time, someone will ask, “what is the best way to brake?” This is a really good question because there are actually different ways to brake. Just to be clear, occasionally someone will do something very stupid in their car that will create a situation in which you must ignore everything you are about to read. In no way should you value hypermiling over your safety, the safety of your occupants, or the integrity of your vehicle. Everything you are going to read in this post refers to non-emergency situations.

At its core, driving a car is ridiculously simple: two pedals and a steering wheel. However, like many things, it’s how you minutely manipulate those three items that differentiate the bad from the average and the average from the good. In this article, I want to address how you manipulate the accelerator pedal.

Consider this: stores and restaurants almost always have some type of music playing. Multiple studies have shown that when stores play popular songs, shoppers spend more time thinking about the music and less time focusing on shopping. Restaurants will play mildly faster-paced music during high-volume periods so patrons will eat and leave faster allowing them to turn more tables. When retail stores play classical music, shoppers are more likely to make high-ticket purchases; slow music creates a relaxed feeling and shoppers are inclined to spend more.

It’s probably a good idea to establish a good understanding of what exactly hypermiling refers to. There are a few different explanations on the web, so why not throw out another one? In short, hypermiling is exceeding the EPA’s fuel efficiency rating for a vehicle. That’s it.
