Are you a hypermiler? You know, those crazed drivers who go 50 mph in the slow lane, or 60 mph in the fast lane if they’re in a Prius. Remember to pulse the gas pedal, not constant, and accelerate going down slopes so you’ll have more momentum to carry you up the next hill. The really insane ones will slipstream right behind a semi-truck, put it in neutral and shut off the engine on down hill stretches. Oh yea, forget top down scarf out, hypermiling is the new cool thing to do.
And what better way to flaunt your green driving techniques with your status symbol iPhone complete with the TripAlyizer app designed for hypermilers, which will tell you just about everything you need to know about your trip trajectory. Taking advantage of the 3G GPS and the improved accelerometer, TripAlyizer is able to track your speed, direction, distance, total time spent, and most importantly, cost per trip. It also serves as a place to store the necessary vitals of your car - VIN, mileage, tire pressure, to name a few - for those all too frequent moments when you need it.
And besides, it’s another app to put on that darling iPhone of yours, you super-modern environmentally friendly tech geek.
The price of green driving nirvana? A cool $5.99 at the App Store.
