Another newbie in Olympia, WA
Well, I heard about this from ajohnmeyer on gassavers. Lurked for like 5 minutes, now hope to contribute, occasionally.
FWIW I'm working with a nearby city (Lacey) to hold an "economy run" (looking for a catchy name) with thier energy fair this May 8th. Drivers of the course are ranked according to thier % over 2008 EPA ratings, also show off to the public how they do it.
Anyone want to drive?
Help run this event?

Yes welcome, I bet If I came to there in my vehicle, everyone would just turn and shake their heads, then pick up my vehicle "concert" style out of the event  |

Hey!!!!! Welcome to EM!
Good to have you here!
(man that's a lot of exclamation points, I think I might have broken that key)
And as for the MPG rally, I'm totally there.

Hey! I'm from Lacey! I commute to work on my electric bike. (cost only $250 too. So it's actually practical. Not like those $1000 types) Maybe I could be in it, but you may be wanting cars. I'm starting an Electric car conversion right now and probably won't be done by then.

sweet, We'll just surreptitiously hire a tow truck to bring your half-completed electric car to the rally anyway
