Oh, so they are hypermiling to get this.

While, it isn’t that big of an achievement then.

Neat, but without hypermiling, it would have run out of gas about 300-400 miles ago probably.

IIRC, NASCAR driver Carl Edwards was one of the drivers, but they also had some well known hypermiling guru driving a sting. Probably maxed out at 50 mph too.

I don’t think you can add a 120% efficiency increase from hypermiling.I could be wrong though
