Stattmans' Hypermiler experiment! Please read SAFETY precautions!


Hypermilage results

Traveled 23.8 miles along I71 between Kings Mill and downtown in a Chevy Avalanche!

Driving normal it took 20 minutes and got 15.4 mpg

Driving with the hypermilage techniques it took 26 minutes and got 20.6 mpg

It breaks down costing in gas $6.18 driving normally and $4.62 using hypermilage techniques to drive 23.8 miles.

So, driving normally ends up costing $1.56 more to drive 23.8 miles. Or you save $1.56 in gas driving with Hypermilage techniques.



Hypermilers use many tactics to try to get extra fuel mileage. Some are more practical than others. Some sacrifice comfort. Some are considered unsafe by driving experts.
