About Hard Core Commuting

A blog devoted to my commuting experiments, driving tips, and personal and social aspects of driving.

My name is Kelly Hines and my commute takes me from Big Lake to Eden Prairie, MN almost everyday of the week with a one-way mileage of about 46 miles using a 2008 Chevy Cobalt. I normally apply some hypermiling techniques but I don’t go crazy.

About a year ago, I decided that since I spend so much time behind the wheel, I would try to make my time more productive, efficient, and sometimes even a little fun.
