Ecomodder in the Philadelphia Inquirer

[ericbecky]

Ben and Ecomodder get nice mentions in this Philadelphia Inquirer story today!

Ecomodder story.

"One site, ecomodder.com, aimed at people who modify their cars to improve mileage, is run by 19-year-old Benjamin Jones of Mount Holly and a partner. A sophomore at Dartmouth College, Jones gets more than 50 miles per gallon from his conventionally powered 1991 Honda CRX, a car that the EPA says should get about 31."

Nice writeup.

And though Jones still spends about 10 hours a week tending to the ecomodding Web site, he spends little time in his car.

"I commute by bike most of the time now."

Is that a misprint? Is it more like 10 hours a day. WooT

Well, it's prolly more like 10 hours a day, but I made the number real low cuz my mom will see the article in the paper.

Hey, I'm putting in 12 hours! I demand a contract renegotiation!

Nice piece. It's very inclusive, covers all the bases.

Thanks for spreading the love, Eric.

Good thinking!

Did you pick up a hard copy of the newspaper? If so, where was the article located?

[SVOboy]

I just called my mom to tell her to get it (I'm still in NH). I'll let you know if she calls me back.
