This Staycation, Try Hypermiling to the CarrotMob - Green Inc. Blog - NYTimes.com
Edging out “moofer” and “toxic debt,” the term “hypermiling” has been named the 2008 Word of the Year by the publishers of the New Oxford American Dictionary.
The word refers to the “attempt to maximize gas mileage by making fuel-conserving adjustments to one’s car and one’s driving techniques,” according to the Oxford dons.
That means doing things like pumping up tires, using cruise control on the flat and pulling forward into a second space when in a parking lot, so you don’t have to back up when you exit.
