Either requires good mileage tracking. When you drive to work and from work, those miles are all your responsibility. However, if you leave work to go somewhere else work related, pick up supplies, drive to a meeting, or go to a different job site, those are all miles that you can claim. It’s not as simple as trying to estimate at the end of the year. You really have to have an exact number, which can be hard for the busy man or woman.

And especially when your employer wants you to familiarize yourself with hypermiling terms you'd best be diligent in keeping track and then gauging your mileage for the best fuel consumption possible.

Escort ZR3 Laser Shifter

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

Radars and laser shifters are one of my favorite accessories for cars. I have an Audi R8 so quite often I must admit, I am driving above the limits. So I bought the Escort ZR3 Laser Shifter which sense incoming police radar and returns a shifted pulse, confusing the radar gun with an error message. It's programmed with a "receive only" mode for detecting but not shifting incoming signals. The ZR3's in-cab control display shows the source, strength and direction of incoming police laser signals. Gone are the days when I used to get speeding tickets, now I just turn my shifter on and it's all gone.

One thing is for sure - I’ll never be doing business this this guy again, or anyone else at that place, for that matter.
