The average price for a gallon of a gas in the U.S. has reached $3.60 and continues to rise. Forced to pay outrageous prices at the pump, some motorists are turning to radical driving techniques to increase the mileage they get out of each tank of gas.
Called "hypermiling," the method can double a vehicle’s gas mileage and will work on even the biggest gas-guzzlers out there.
Some of the tips to improve your gas mileage are well known, such as pumping up your tires to its maximum rating on their sidewalls, changing your air filter at least once a year and not driving above the speed limit.
However, others are more radical and controversial, including the practice of drafting behind other vehicles on the highway to reduce aerodynamic drag, and turning off your engine when coasting downhill.
