This easiest way to squeeze the most mileage out of a gallon of gas is simply to drive slower. Aerodynamic drag increases significantly as speed increases. For example, the air resistance acting against your car at 70 miles per hour is twice as much as the air resistance at 50 miles per hour. So, drive slower for better gas mileage.

Not at all. They are much slower but get slightly better mileage. I own a hybrid and it is not slower than any other car. I have found myself going 85-90 and slowed it down. My gas mileage is good.

Stop Slower for Better Gas Mileage?

To increase the gas mileage in your hybrid car, consider taking your time as you stop. Quick stops require the brakes to do most of the work, but when a hybrid stops slowly, the electric motor acts like a generator and converts some of the rolling motion of the vehicle into electricity. This replenishes the battery to a small degree and can add up to better gas mileage.
