Driving sore

If you are driving while moving a friend from apartment to apartment, almost everyone gets sore.

What is great is that usually driving can be more relaxing. 

I think it's good when you are sore to consider adjusting your steering wheel.  Mainly you want to be supporting your lower back and arms, and not having a posture that is leaning forward.  That posture can encourage speeding up, and of course, we don't like driving past the speed limit.

SURREAL CHALLENGE! I MAKE AN HYPERMILING POST IN under 5 minutes!

Hi!  as we speak i have a timer going, to see if i can post about hypermiling in under 5 minutes!  a few key things come to mind:

1.  You can hypermiler ANY car
2.  Aim to increase by 3mpg
3.  The "dream" of "free" gasoline.

"free" gasoline is unlikely, but just imagine getting your tank to run twice as "well" as normal.  Using my tips, and the tips of some of my friends like "The Flamboyant Introvert" will help!

okay, did i make the timer?

oh! i did, i have 3 minutes to spare!

neat.  This was an experiment mainly to see what i could write with a time deadline over my head.


Lots of good information for professional truck drivers HERE!  SO GREAT>  literally it's too good of an article, just the way that "citizen kane" for movie buffs is too good to watch!  no lie!

NEXT UP! BACK TO SCHOOL JITTERS! CRAZY MAD TEXTERS!

Back -to-school season is just around the corner!  I'm quite sure you didn't want to know that, but i have an important reason to remind you:::

drive safely!

Going to Walmart/Target/supermarket with kids is a drain on hypermiling and road safety IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!

It's pretty well known that you shouldn't text and drive.  DON:T TEXT and DRIVE!

But please tell your kids the same thing.  The double whammy of back-to-school shopping and texting while driving can cause accidents

unfortunately, i've seen MANY accidents, and hope and pray to not see more in my hometown (of course i wasn't involved because I am a hypermiler = I am attentive to the road and my gas mileage at all times.)



P.S.  you have a "cheat" in August!

it's much more important to drive safe than it is to achieve proper gas mileage!

Fortunately, you can do both, but i'm just saying, IF you are in a high traffic zone, especially walmart parking lots like i was in "insert big city" USA this past 4th of July, driving safely > Hypermiling.

In September, you can do both hypermiling and safe driving.  BUT August is all about safe driving!
