E-wheel? That would be Mike Dabrowski's Insight. It's definitely innovative.

I don't recall that he had a grill-block.
If they had said, i didn't catch it.
Yes sir. That thing was definitely awesome.

What I'd like to know is, what kind of mileage does an educated and dedicated hypermiler get in a Gen2 vs in a third-gen Prius. |
I know one of the guys just bought the car, so it hasn't had a chance to break-in yet. He had his tire pressure lower, but increased it at the meet. He was one of the main guys that we were discussing hypermiling techniques with. Once he gets his techniques down and gets more miles on it, he should definitely be getting better f/e.
That's a good question that i would like to know as well. According to fueleconomy.gov, the Priuses are supposed to get better MPG than the Gen 2 Insights.
