I'd ask for compensation and then challenge them to a fuel efficiency contest.

I'm sure the Aerocivic can hold it's own against a gen 3 Prius and an Insight (new). Even if you lose so long as your close you prove that a 17 year old car with some home made aero modifications can get the same kind of MPG a brand new $20k hybrid can get.

I'll see if I can find the address to write or e-mail the magazine and PM it to you tonight.
