Check out this competition:
EcoModder Team Competition
(Save the link; I don't think it's listed on the main Forums page)

The competition now has 15 teams, one of which is "Diesel". With your truck currently at 77% above EPA you'd definitely be an asset to that team!

There's also a "Pickups" team; looks like you'd be an asset there too.

Driving Lean Burn '97 Civic HX, lotsa mods by now! '89 Volvo 240 is semi-retired. I did love that car though!

On some teams there is just one or four vehicles. And did you notice that the Honda team has inactive vehicles on the list? In some cases that's great for the team average, and in other cases not

Maybe old inactive cars should be scrubbed from the team lists? Sacrilege?

I've had the same thought. But I think Darin has plenty to do already...d I didn't want to ask him to do more!
