Dear Media friends,

 

APH Networks has published a new review that your readers might enjoy. A post

* Title: Gas Mileage and Hypermiling: Everything You Need to Know About ( -at -) APH

Networks

 

* Description: "Hypermiling" or "to hypermile" is to attempt to maximize gas

mileage by making fuel-conserving adjustments to one’s car and one’s

driving techniques. Rather than aiming for good mileage or even great

mileage, hypermilers seek to push their gas tanks to the limit and achieve

hypermileage, exceeding EPA ratings for miles per gallon. Quoting Oxford, for

its Word of the Year 2008. If you've never been on APH before, yes, this is

an online technology publication -- but yes, this is an article relating to a

driving practice that seems to have gained universal attention after insane

gas prices earlier this year. That said, gas prices has dropped significantly

for various reasons; mainly relating to the current economy. But lowering gas

prices did not stop me from making the most out of my tank of gas. I drive

daily to the train station, which would be around 25km round trip. The last

time I filled up was more than a month ago in my 2007 Honda Civic LX 5-speed

manual.

 

Living in Canada, gas prices do cost significantly more than USA. Looking at

it on the positive side, I gave my car slightly more expensive 87 octane gas

(And plans to over the next few months, to see what kind of difference it

makes) from a local Shell gas station instead of the usual

the-cheapest-I-can-find, as some research indicates that different brands of

gas may give better mileage. I'll post more on this in just a moment.

Meanwhile, the bill came to $32 CAD. Not bad, not bad.
