r/hypermiling

I'm kinda new to this stuff - I want to put wheel skirts on my car. I see a lot of people use cardboard and duct tape but I'd like something that blends into my car and is more permanent than that, which I can remove relatively easily for maintainence. I would just like some advice on how to go about mounting them to a car (e.g. brackets with nuts, bolts and washers, or even magnets).

If for some reason it helps at all, I have a 98 Accord sedan.

I drive a Camry Hybrid and can get 60–80 MPG in the city pretty easily, but on the highway at 65 mph or under I’m only getting around 45 MPG or worse .

What are the best highway hypermiling techniques for Toyota hybrids? Especially for rolling hills, throttle control, EV assist, and maintaining momentum. Trying to consistently get 50+ MPG on highway trips. I even tried going 60 mph and no luck . Thanks in advance .

I'm about to extend my commute, and am looking at what my best options are for mpg. I'm generally a classics only guy, and currently I have a fiero that gets ~31 mpg highway. My constraints are that I'd like it to be older than 2010, be fwd since I'm in Minnesota, be made by gm, and get over 30 highway. I'd like to avoid a metro, as I did have a geo tracker once and those cars just feel like golf carts. Thanks.

I have a 2016 f150 3.5 ecoboost. I have a 8 hour drive to jacksonville on i95. After this drive i will have a hybrid. Until then is is more efficient to have the ac on or to have the windows open just enough?

Average speed will be between 65 to 75 mph, which ever the speed limit is.

I miss the fusion. I will soon be re united with it

Curious about ideal distances and speeds for drafting. Obviously the closer you get the better mileage but im certainly not getting too close to anything, so really im wondering what the farthest distance back is that I could still get positive effects. I have a 2025 elantra and I can average about 47mpg on the highway, and I've gotten around 53mpg behind an 18 wheeler. Even around 100-150 feet away, I can still see the increase in mileage.

Ive also tried a few different types of trucks to follow- regular 18 wheelers, flatbed, auto carrier, and box trucks. They all helped about the same close up, but the tractor trailer boxes helped more further out. It definitely saves me gas- I can stay above 50mpg going 70mph, which would normally be much worse at that speed.

If so, how’s that going for you?

Please list the year make, model, engine displacement, epa combined mpg and your mpg

My current set up isnt really ideal for this, but i pushed into 19mpg in my 2006 LBZ doing 70 on the interstate Obviously having 285/75r18 Yokohama Geolandars (G015) isnt great but I think that if I do it right I can hit 20mpg on a tank. I think if I avoid going to 80mph and do my best to keep moving I can hit it. Any other tips would be cool. Thanks

Anyone use fuelly? Google is wrong about the way I have to go about deleting a car. It says simply edit vehicle and delete but when i hit Delete i get a message stating "retired vegicles are unable to be removed". So i tried unretiring it to delete it, can't do that either.

I have a list of 17 vehicles that i must scroll through EVERY TIME I switch vehicles and fill in gasoline. I'd rather just have the 6 i actually own as that is a list long enough. There isn't even any MPG data in some of these old cars anymore so it's up there for no reason other than to make it take longer to find cars.
