On Friday, the Strib ran this Washington Post story about Prius owners who challenge themselves (and each other) to get the highest possible gas mileage from their cars. With fuel prices the way they are, “hypermilers” have been making news again — a CBS story is here, an Associated Press story here, Minnesota Public radio here.

Although Roadguy’s personal vehicle is wayyyy too unfancy to show real-time fuel economy on the dashboard (or even have a tachometer), I still have recently found myself coasting to stoplights and monitoring my acceleration. I haven’t gone so far as to seek out parking spaces that allow me to roll out of them, but who knows — gas is only going to go up. If you’ve been trying any of these kinds of things to reduce how often you visit the pump, let us know in the comments below.
