Your Hypermiling Scion
Toyota's common sense approach to hypermiling recommends that people should not let their vehicles idle; idling uses fuel even when the vehicle isn’t going anywhere. Fast acceleration uses more fuel than anyone realizes, it is much better to move forward at a slower pace than speeding up the engine to get a jump on traffic. Practice slowing down your vehicle between stop lights as the harder the pressure you put on your brakes, the quicker sooner you will have to have a new brake job done and the tires will last for a much longer period of time.
