Hypermiling To Save Gas Began With Nascar

Believe it or not, Nascar and environmental sustainability go hand-in-hand. The 22,000 seats at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina are made from the recycled seats from the Hornets' defunct Charlotte Coliseum. The Daytona scoring towers were salvaged from a bankrupt California speedway. The parking lots of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway were made from the old asphalt from the torn-up racing track. You can find recycling bins at all major speedways now as well. Perhaps the best thing to come out of this environmentally-friendly mentality is the hypermiling technique to save gas. It may surprise you to learn that hypermiling driving techniques, which are now popular on city streets and highways, first began with professional speeders. There is much to learn from people whose livelihood depends upon their ability to use fuel wisely.
