Today I was thinking about what I really get from Hypermiling and thought it would be a good idea to work out the fuel savings I am making a year running at 59MPG instead of 45MPG in my trusty 306TD.

I work approximately 230 days and my daily mileage is about 23 miles. Thats 5290miles a year (approx)
At 45MPG and 130p a litre thats £688 and at 59MPG thats £527. A saving of £161 a year or £13 a month.
Whoops I forgot about car sharing. Getting a lift in for 1.5days (3 days every two weeks) saving me 1656 miles - that brings my fuel total a year to about £362 saving £362 a year!!! Thats nearly halving my yearly fuel bill, paying for my insurance and part of my road tax!!

What really makes me think is the savings that can be made for the "average" joe doing 12,000 miles a year getting 30MPG when they really could be getting 50+
