Pulse and Glide / Punch and Coast
This advanced technique is one of the simplest to implement. The pulse and glide (alternatively punch and coast) is a relatively simple technique that capitalizes on inertia.

This is one of the safest of the advanced hypermiling techniques. It takes advantage of aerodynamic situations created when a hypermiler like us goes at or below posted speed limits and the normal folk go around you to zoom off to their destinations.
