A friend of mine mentioned to me this thing call Hyper Driving or Hyper Miling, and being a green guy, I was very interested to try it. So I read up on it on wikipedia and some other sites and tried it out today on my weekly trek to Tuscon, AZ. It's 100 miles one way, mostly flat and straight.
These are the methods I used:
Driving Barefoot (throttle sensitivity)
Average 60 mph
Average 2350 rpms
Pulse and Coast (rev up to 65mph then put it in neutral and coasted to 55mph)
Windows open under 55, AC on low above 55.
Coast on off-ramps
Coast down hills
If you are interested in getting the most gas mileage out of your current vehicle, this is the way to do it!!! I'm on my first true tank of hyper-miling after filling up with $4 gas for the first time. I'll keep you posted!s

Very interesting.
If the economics don't work, recycling and sustainable efforts won't either.
Check http://LivePaths.com a blog about innovative entrepreneurs that make money selling recycled items, provide green services or help us reduce our dependency on non renewable resources. These include some very cool Green nline ventures, great new technologies, startups and investments opportunities.
