It really works, because of driving habits. Be mindful of how you apply your fuel, think of it in terms of energy, like the cyclist who is trying to keep his legs from aching by pedaling too hard. Coast down hills and get a bit of a run before upcoming hills. And whatever you do, DON'T keep working the accelerator on and off. Find a happy speed and hold it. Acceleration is the biggest energy burner. |
