lol. As long as you know how to manage your finances properly, there's no need for a FAS or Hypermiling.
Bro, I have to say...you're completely lost
.
how exactly does this fas work?
That is a Forced Auto Stop. Usually if I'm coming up to a red light that I know will be red for a while, or if I'm climbing down a really long grade that's not necessarily steep, I will shift to N, hit that switch, deactivates the injectors and I lose POWER steering and have power brake for three strokes, I hardly ever brake so that's more than plenty.
I flick the switch back after a few seconds to reactivate the injectors, by that time the engine is dead. When I need to accelerate, hit the start switch and I'm back in action.
Hypermiling isnt just about managing your finances, there's a lot more than the surface and what you hear from AAA and majority of people who don't. Shiano, here's a challenge, visit
www.cleanmpg.com and just "lurk" if you want or whatever, but just see what it is about, I'll let you know that it's not just about managing your finances as people on that forum are of extremely high caliber, intelligent, along with Joe schmo and everything in between. Its something bigger than me and you, and also...if you drive a lot, you could pocket a LOT more of that money that you spend on gas, maybe get that manual transmission swap and s/c setup. From the outside looking in, it's a completely different situation.
Also, this is just my car, there are a wide range of cars including hybrids...imagine a '96 civic getting over 80 miles/gallon.
you gotta hook me up with one of those one day, lol. that is the ubber cheap ass man's friendly gas meter.
HA!, LOT more than a gas meter my friend
this is how I know exactly what's going on with my car. The only thing I havent been able to get is air/fuel ratio...I should be able to code that in soon though.
but on another note, a week ago, i was completely below empty tank level and i was on my way to new jersey from new york. I filled up the tank with 3 dollars of gas, and i swear i drove from brooklyn new york all the way to eatontown new jersey which is an hour and 20 minutes away with those 3 dollars. I was fukkin amazed, i have no idea how tha fuk i did that. 3 fukking dollars of gas!!!!!!
if you kno how to work these cars, it is amazing the return you can get. that's still crazy tho man!
