You could say that, she's an in-law. They're always looking for new stories, and she said they wanted something to go in their "green" issue.

Had the "Carolina Traveler" TV interview. Its suppose to be broadcast in May on WCNC out of Charlotte. They were trying to play it up a bit with the "can you get a girl friend with a car that looks like this" aspect of my unconventional looking car and spent some time at a gas station asking people if they would do this to their car if it could get them 70mpg. I tried to pass along a few hypermiling tips while I was driving the car and some of the history of low Cd cars. Also mentioned that drafting offers little benefit for a car with as low a Cd as mine (to the usual question of drafting to improve mileage).

Maybe we just need to start some sort of "hypermileing is sexy" campaign?


Ohhh. Look at that car, it's has such a LOW resistance to air.... [/sexyvoice]

Ben, I'll let you know when I get my Trail 90 on the road. Maybe we should do an A-B-A test with leather jackets.

P.S. I'm thinking of joining a moped gang.
