308: Hypermiling: Expert Driving to Save 25% on Gas - Part 3 by Mr. Money Mustache May 03, 2017

Show notes

Mr. Money Mustache shares what hypermiling is and how you can save 25% on gas doing it. This is Part 3 of 3.

Episode 308: Hypermiling: Expert Driving to Save 25% on Gas - Part 3 by Mr. Money Mustache (Debt & Car Insurance).

Mr. Money Mustache is a thirty-something retiree who now writes about how we can all live a frugal, yet awesome, life of leisure.

He and his wife studied engineering and computer science in Canada, then worked in standard tech-industry cubicle jobs in various locations throughout the late ’90s and early 2000s.

Then they retired from real work way back in 2005 in order to start a family. This was achieved not through luck or amazing skill, but simply by living a lifestyle about 50% less expensive than most of their peers and investing the surplus in very boring conservative Vanguard index funds and a rental house or two.
