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).
