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.

I thought they are a British outfit, do they do any test driving in this country, and would they even be interested in such a contest? I don't know much about them or what types of testing they normally do.
The Aerocivic would have no problem holding its own against the new Insight both in town and especially on the highway, and would handily beat the gen 3 Prius on the highway, especially at the speeds that these guys would likely be driving at.
To do a with/without mods comparision, the Aerocivic would have to be compared with the Civic VX, a champion high mileage car in its own right, but no match for my mileage at highway speeds.
