Hypermiler

Warp Stealth is another frequently used term in the Hypermiling dictionary.  Now there is a long, scientific explanation of Warp Stealth, but it can easily be put into simple terms. Warp Stealth is the practice of finding just the right speed with your hybrid, where your electric motor is engaged and the gas engine is spinning freely. This is a higher speed technique and will work for speeds around 40 - 55mph. Warp Stealth is a fantastic way to save on gas, but it will take a little getting-to-know your Prius or hybrid so you can feel out the engine and find that sweet spot. Once you get Warp Stealth down, you can use it frequently and increase your average mpg. This hypermiling technique will only work on hybrid cars that feature an electric motor. A regular gasoline engine does not have the capability to allow you to try Warp Stealth. This may just be one more good reason to go out and buy a hybrid today!
