    Hello Everyone,

    I looked through some of the other threads, but didn't see the answer to my question.

    I am currently awaiting my Pri and am driving a Toyota RAV4. I have been utilizing some of the hypermiling techniques and have produced noticable results.

    My questions are, how...specifically would one hypermile with a Pri? Do the same methods apply? Is it necessary? Can you shift into neutral when gliding??

    Sorry for all the questions :rolleyes:

    Any input would be greatly appreciated!
