43 Miles Per Gallon: Get Better Gas Mileage: Select Your Electric Car, #1

By Dale Stubbart

My Toyota Echo is rated at 36mpg for the average driver. I can get 43mpg. Some people only get 25mpg in their Echo. Techniques for getting better gas mileage are called hypermiling. In this book, I discuss 13 hypermiling techniques. I also discuss how to calculate gas mileage so you can tell how your mileage is improving as you apply some or all of these techniques. Just think, now you'll have a few extra bucks to buy a lottery ticket, a flower for a special friend, a soda or a stick of gum for yourself, or a bottle of bubbles for your kid. Perhaps you'll save it to tip your favorite wait person a little extra. You might even stick it in your bank account to help pay bills.

Toyota Echo

I bought a Toyota Echo in 2003. The dealer told me it got 41 miles per gallon (mpg). And sure enough, it did. Today it still gets 41mpg, though I’ve been able to squeeze 43mpg out of it, even though the EPA rates it at only 36mpg (freeway), 30mpg (city).

This book tells how I get such good gas mileage. These techniques will also help you get better than average gas mileage no matter what you drive.

The Toyota Echo is a slightly smaller version of the Corolla. It was
