Whatever the current experiment, I will be continuously monitoring the following parameters of each commute:

1. Date
2. Start Time
3. Starting Temp
4. Cold tire pressure
5. Wind Direction
6. Weather – (Clear, Rain, Heavy Rain, Ice/Snow)
7. Attempted Average Speed
8. Actual Average Speed
9. End Temp
10. Warm tire pressure
11. Economy
12. Wind Speed
13. Traffic Density – (Low, Med, High, Very High)
14. End Time
15. Duration

My Cobalt has a fairly nice dashboard computer that provides avg speed, avg mpg, ambient temp, and tire pressures. This makes it very nice to track these values.

Okay, I thought I would just throw some links up…Maybe that’s not the thing to do since a quick Google will give you these, but if you’re just too darn lazy here are some good sites / articles on commuting and hypermiling.

Okay, I know this is old, but I simply can’t imagine this kind of commute.

This seemed kind of interesting; maybe I’ll check it out to see if it’s legit.

While I don’t advocate all of the extreme hypermiling, some of the common sense ideas really work.
