Zero MIles Per Gallon

That's what your car gets while you are sitting at the light waiting for it to turn green.

In my (much) younger years, the solution would have been to take a quick look around for the cops and then blow the light. I'm too old for that now.

I'm tryng to do what the real hypermilers do: pay more attention to what's going on ahead of me. If the light turns yellow - or is about to - I take my foot off the gas and start slowing down a lot sooner. My objective is to minimize the amount of time I spend getting zero miles per gallon.
