Anyone every tried hypermiling a mini?
I wonder what results could be had from the A-Series if someone went mad for economy.
http://www.hypermile...ling-techniques - following these etc.
50+ mpg is probably in reach. 60+ at a push?
Ugh!!!
....We "hypermile" the wife's 4x4 (simply because we couldn't afford to run the huge planet killing beast otherwise).... But oh god it's sooooo boooring!!... I couldn't bring myself to drive a classic mini like that, the whole point of a mini is that they are fun to drive and "scream along" in!!
