I saw yellow light all the way! 25 to 30% is a huge deal. We just went on a 2300 mile trip and spent about $1000 on fuel. That's $250 to $300 savings. I did not know hypermiling was a thing. We have been doing some of those things but intend to be more diligent. Thanks for the great tips. Love your adventures!

We just now jumped back up to 90° chasers lol. We drive 60-65. Just let the speeding RVs and cars pass. Our rig is 13'4' so RV GPS for us. Great video . Hopefully people will learn from this.

IMHO, The point in time that you enter the intersection (by crossing the stop line) puts you in the clear. I am fairly sure that is the rule... So, I say you were in the clear... The rule I go by is if I can stop without braking hard when it turns yellow, then I stop because braking hard will put the car behind you right into the back of your vehicle... I am that guy who putters around so I can save gas, when they burn by me, I laugh because I know they are just wasting their money... I did not know there was a name for what I see as prudent driving... Thanks for the chat...

We have been passed by so many people. Why is everyone in such a hurry for anyway 🙄? Thanks so much for watching and have a blessed week!

I think that if Lynn tried to stop at that light everything in the rig would have been in the front seat. It did look yellow all the way through. I think you can let off the gas and coast without placing the car in neutral. If something ever happens and you have to press on the gas you would want it in gear, such as a blowout. But I like all these tips. Good job.

Track your mileage by brand, octane, and specific station. We’ve seen MPG plunge with ethanol, or non-tier-1 gas. On our rig, Chevron 81 octane gives the best miles per dollar. We find that big high-volume stations give as much as 45% better MPG compared to out-of-the-way rural stations.

We're in no hurry and typically drive 10 miles below the speed limit. Hypermiling is a great idea and can save money, with a 33,500 lb Class A and given the price of diesel everything we can do helps. "Red on Roof" is what the cops use, after looking at the video I would not have tried to stop either.

Very smart. I think we will get better at hypermiling with practice. We filled up again yesterday, and our mpg went up to 10.38. It is getting a little higher every fill-up.

I will be honest and say I don't think we even got close to hyperfuel savings. It was a great experiment. A lot of what you can save depends on the type of vehicle you have. We do think that by going a certain speed and slowing down when we came up to stops, it did save us some fuel. We try to save wherever we can. Hopefully, the price will come down soon.

An orange light is OK (orange is red for less then 2 seconds). Also be judicious in the use of a tow/haul setting on an automatic transmission on my Ram which has an 8 speed it will seldom shift to 8th gear when using tow/haul however it handles the load just fine when on fairly level ground. Save tow/haul for when you need it on a grade.

Yellow light for sure. and that's why you never take off when the light turns green right away you should pause 3 seconds before starting to pull off this gives Lynn time to clear the intersection lol.

You should not drive in neutral downhilling in your car. Your engine in gear acts as a centrifuge which allows you to maintain control over traction so if you emergency brake or lane change, you maintain your weight forward and the engine can absorb the forward momentum where you may need it to control the front wheels to turn. In other words, it's much safer.
