Why I love…
HYPE RMILING
BY RAHUL KAKAR SPECIAL PROJECTS MANAGER, AUTOCAR INDIA
There are some things that I just can’t resist, like driving flat out on a race track, overlanding across continents, off-roading and generally pushing cars to their limits. But there’s another that I’ve got hooked on that, in contrast, is about conserving energy and driving as far as possible, rather than fast.
Yes, I love hypermiling.
The biggest draw for me is the personal challenge: testing my driving skills in a way that temporarily transforms my entire personality. It not only demands monk-like patience but also the ability to resist the urge to just smash the throttle and get a move on.
