Best Hypermiling Hybrid Tactics
Hypermiling hybrid cars is easy with so many built-in features designed to conserve fuel. For instance, the Ford Fusion has a "regenerative braking system," which recycles 94% of the energy created by braking. Brake pads are said to last three times' longer with this model. Behind the rear seat, there is a battery pack that fuels the car with electric power on speeds up to 47 miles per hour. A powertrain control module is calibrated to ease the transition from gas to electric, so drivers never notice the shift, and since the engine only needs to perform half as much work, owners only need an oil change every 10,000 miles or so, rather than every 3,000. Additionally, hybrid owners say they have a number of other techniques and tricks that help them maximize their gas mileage even more.
Serious hybrid owner Jim Kelly of Richmond, Virginia got his Toyota Prius up to 78 miles per gallon, which is considerably higher than the EPA rating of 48 for city and 45 for highway. He says he uses techniques like "pulse and glide" -- where he accelerates and coasts for as long as possible before accelerating again. He parks his car facing outward to avoid shifting from reverse to drive, and avoids making left turns whenever possible, so he won't have to stop and wait for the oncoming traffic to pass. "Stoplights don't bother me so much, because as I learn my routes and know the lights, if I do it right I may never hit a red light," Kelly adds. He doesn't mind being stuck behind slow-moving cargo trucks because it allows him to burn even less fuel by traveling 20 on a 55 mph road.
However, you don't need a hypermiling hybrid to get excellent MPG. Andrew McGuckin drives an 11-year-old Honda Civic that is rated 33 mpg in the city and 38 on the highway. McGuckin is averaging 57 mils per gallon, which means he's "using only two-thirds as much gas, or saving $1 per gallon if gas is $3 at the pump," he says. The biggest surprise to a lot of new hypermilers is that they become more relaxed, more vigilant drivers. "I actually notice probably twice as much out front as I used to," says McGuckin. "I'm not on the phone, eating, drinking, listening to music or anything else," he says. "The personal relaxation was a surprise to me. This is time that I already have to spend every day, so why use it to work myself into a frenzy? On my 11-mile commute, I could arrive a minute sooner if I floored the gas all the way, but why?"
One of the more helpful features of the hypermiling hybrid is its built-in calculator that tells drivers how many MPG they're getting in real-time. Many drivers have glanced down when they're accelerating or braking hard to see just what kind of gas mileage they're getting. They can also test out their cruise control, plan routes with less hills, drive a little bit slower and try other hypermiling driving tips to see what a difference they can make. Drivers who don't have an automatic calculator can still get the same benefits from a $170 device called a Scan Gauge (www.scangauge.com), which will let them know their fuel usage in real-time and act as a hypermiling tutorial.

New tank looking for residents! Help?
Hey, I recently bought a 10 gallon tank. The water has been treated and it has a filter that's been running for about a week now. I'm new to fish keeping but I'd really like to keep coldwater fish however I'm not sure what kind of fish or how many would be suitable.
Also - I my brother has an old 5gal tank that he gave to me (two days after I bought the new one, just my luck!) so if I bought a filter for that, would a two-tank setup work? I'd love to invest in a larger single tank but I'm a student and somewhat strapped for cash, which is the reason why I'd prefer inexpensive coldwater fish. (:
Any advice would be great really. I'm looking forward to being a fishkeeper, haha. Thanks!
you can keep tropicals in a tank without a heater if the tank is in a heated room
a school of tetras would be nice
platies of different colors would be nice
