"Hypermiling" - getting the most out of a tank of gas

Mother Jones ran a great article about "Hypermiling" - squeezing out every ounce of energy from gas in a car, be it a hybrid or regular internal combustion engine. I've tried some of the techniques, and I can get about 50 mpg in my Honda Civic Hybrid. The subject of the article can get 59mpg in a regular Accord, though! He recently broke a record of getting 150mg in a Honda Insight hybrid. For more info, you can check out his blog: www.cleanmpg.com
