Actually, if the speeds were a little lower, I'd bring an athlete friend who would complete the course on an upright bicycle in 4-5 hours with zero fuel.

Also, don't worry about the Insight ... it's averaging 64 gallons per mile. I've used about 0.4 gallons charging the batteries and testing the cooling system, and gone about 10m up and down the driveway.

I'm looking forward to meeting some EcoModders and seeing their machines, and it'll be fun to see old tech vs new tech, and two wheels vs four.
