Gregory Mone told me that the Pop-Sci article was only going to be a small piece,so maybe we can take some comfort in that they did anything at all.
I liked that they credited EcoModder.com.I also liked that the 'rear' of the vehicles were mentioned within the context of mpg.
Also,by doing the piece under the context of DIY,it may empower others to try some stuff out.
And unrelated to EcoModder,but nonetheless cool,was Royal Dutch Shell's piece on the Shell Mileage Marathon,8,700 + mpg 3-wheeler,which has a good photo and anyone can see the rear,which to the un-initiated,should get some head-scratching going,aerodynamics-wise.
I also hope that the AEROCIVIC will show up in a future issue.There is just no way that Gregory doesn't know about it!
With 35-mpg CAFE standards looming ahead,it would be a propitious moment to mention that car.
