I have been hypermiling as best I can and I got 300 miles on 9.5 gal a couple weeks ago in the 2001 Neon. But yeah, I don't go over 70 in a 65, I draft trucks when I get the chance to, I coast down hills and decelerate slowly up hills and I try to use my brakes a little as possible. I also go as far as shutting my car off when I get to lights that I know will take longer than 30 sec. We use a ton of gas while idling. That is what makes the hybrids so efficient.
