no comment Posted by Admin

Hold it! Before you start dismantling the brakes on your vehicle - please read this carefully: You do not need to disable or dismantle the brakes on your vehicle in any way to apply DWB in hypermiling. DWB or driving without brakes is a driving technique - not a vehicle mod.

What is the FAS (Forced Auto Stop)?
It’s the technique were you use the situation to enable your vehicle to move continuously with the engine off. Move with the engine off? Right.
