Myself and Ecomodder Made the News.

Hey all, here is a report that the local TV station did on Ecomodding I interviewed for. Pretty decent report.

Extreme gas-saving hypermilers : News : WNWO NBC24

Check out the video on the right. The link to Ecomodder is on the bottom.

Note I said 39 mpg using the old standard. To bad I didn't know the new standard was 33 combined for my car.

That was a really good report! Not sensational at all. In fact, pretty sensible where they inevitably touch on the topic of "dangerous techniques".

Ur a champ, thanks for fixing the link. I'm not sure what went wrong!?

Yeah, I think he did a good job. I stressed a few things off camera and some that wasn't shown of some of the more risky techniques (drafting for example). Not to crazy of a report.
