I once pulled the key out and handed it to the girl...while the car was still moving

I'm not all that sure that techniques such as

• ...turning off the car on downhills...
• ...driving 38 mph all over town (even on the highway)...
• ...overfilling your tires...

are great ideas for most of us 'round these normal parts.

By the same token, the concept of 75.6 miles per gallon is somewhere north of fantastic as far as I'm concerned - particularly when it's in something that's not a hybrid.

Gotta love the stuff that bumbles around on NPR.
