“Hypermillers” are people who are obsessed with how many miles per gallon they are getting. There are actually clubs for hypermillers where they compete to see who can go the furthest on the least amount of fuel. Apparently, the term came from hybrid-vehicle driving clubs. If you have a hybrid car, you can run your car on water and use 50% less gas. They utilize certain old standby driving techniques such as, driving the speed limit, refraining from jackrabbit starts, making sure their tires are properly inflated. Some hypermillers go to the extreme and modify their cars so that they are more aerodynamic. They also will accelerate to get to the speed limit and then coast as far as they can without hitting the gas again.
