Ok, I know it's not DIRECTLY a fuel economy break-through, but I now have over 400 subscribers on YouTube.
This is almost exclusively through Electro-Metro build videos.
It looks like lots of people are watching these things. At the MREA energy fair, several people were already familiar with the car from YouTube!

Thats cool, and i suppose it saves you telling them the details, since they watched the videos?

great way to advertise the ecomodding way of life. If more of us did that we could really get global.
