Extreme mileage enthusiasts
Hypermilers are drivers who use specialized techniques to maximize their vehicle's fuel efficiency well beyond standard ratings.
The practice involves strategies like coasting, careful acceleration, maintaining optimal tire pressure, and avoiding unnecessary idling.
The hypermilers in the forum competed to see who could get the best mileage on a single tank.
The term emerged as fuel prices rose and environmental awareness increased.
