Petrol prices on the rise!!!! =(

Actually even before today's article on ways to make the most out of the petrol you've got, i've thought of ways to cut down on petrol consumption. And one of the way is free-wheeling. But that's for a manual car la... i don't know if auto car can or not...

Anyway, build up the speed slowly up hill and maintain it there, probably around 90km/hr, then at the downhill, clutch in and free-wheel all the way down. I will usually do until i see the car at my rear slowly catching up before i clutch out and start accelerating again.

And if you are like me, who always take the same route back home and know when you will brake and stop, you can roughly estimate how far the car is going to take you while you free-wheel. So instead of accelerating all the way until the turning and then braking, why not free-wheel all the way and only needing to brake a little when it comes to the turning.

But that is... only when the roads you are travelling on have very little traffic. =)
