Hypermiling, a term coined by efficiency expert Wayne Gerdes, means improving a car’s gas mileage using simple methods. A person

who practices hypermiling on a regular basis can achieve a 50 percent or better improvement in a vehicle’s official fuel economy estimate.
Improving fuel economy through hypermiling can work for any vehicle. The driver of a 2005 Honda Accord, for example, went from 24 mpg to 35 mpg after adopting hypermiling techniques for one year. Gerdes himself set a world record in 2009 after driving a Ford Fusion Hybrid for 1,445 miles on a single tank of gas. He was able to achieve a fuel economy of 81 mpg, which is more than double the EPA estimate for fuel economy in a Fusion.
Most hypermiling techniques are easy to implement. Driving at lower speeds leads to less fuel consumption. Be sure to drive the posted speed limit—or even slower—to save money. Slowing down also benefits drivers by preventing excessive braking, which reduces gas mileage by as much as 33 percent. Idling the engine for longer than a few minutes can also be costly at the gas pump. Simply by making a few common sense changes, hypermilers can save money and protect the environment.

According to the first three paragraphs of this excerpt of the speech, what has Winston Churchill been doing since becoming Prim
user100 [1]

In the beginning of the speech called, “Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat,” Winston Churchill is discussing the new government that he has formed in the past three days after becoming prime minister. In paragraph two it states, “A war cabinet has been formed of five members, representing, with the Labour, Opposition, and Liberals, the unity of the nation.” In this part of the speech, he is explaining about the transition of the new government he has formed. Furthermore, he goes on by saying, “Other key positions were filled yesterday.” He does not explain what they are but we can assume that he has done something else too that was an important task to be completed. After explaining what he has already completed he gives a few more details about his future plans. In short, all we know from the beginning of the speech is that he has created a new government.
