I don't hypermile, but I do several things to increase my gas mileage...I keep tire air pressure at suggested max, drive no faster than 60 mph and use cruise control as much as possible to keep it there, I removed the back seats to remove weight from the vehicle since I drive 95% of the time alone (they flip out easily in my PT Cruiser), try to anticipate red light changes so I don't have to brake as much and have put in a different type of air filter that allows more air to burn the fuel more efficiently. I usually get between 27 and 31 mpg with my PT Cruiser which is near the top end of the EPA estimates for that car. I'm tempted to drive slower than 60 mph but as one other poster above stated, a person starts to feel a little unsafe going that slow on the freeway.
