hypermiler
Efficiency-obsessed driver
A hypermiler is a driver who employs extreme techniques to maximize fuel efficiency, often exceeding the EPA estimates for their vehicle.
Methods include coasting, drafting behind trucks, over-inflating tires, and avoiding braking.
The practice emerged as gas prices rose: He's such a hypermiler he won't run the air conditioning.
