2009 Hybridfest Green Drive Expo: Meet Hypermiler Richard Krueger
Posted by Matt Kelly | Filed under alternative transportation, event, hybrid
Fellow Examiner Richard Krueger is a hypermiler.
What is hypermiling you ask? It’s method of increasing your car’s gas mileage by making skillful changes in the way you drive, allowing you to save gas and thereby have an easier time withstanding the rising oil and gas prices.
Richard is so well versed in these techniques, he is often sought out by major OEM’s who want real time feedback on the mileage possibilities of their cars, having driven a Yukon hybrid once in a Detroit winter weather storm and still managed 38mpg in a vehicle rated at 20mpg.
In his Ford Escape hybrid, Richard has one his class for the past three years during the MPG Challenge, part of the 2009 Hybridfest Green Drive Expo in Madison, Wisc.
