Not the one who berated Basjoos, calling his work insignificant, or Robert, with the (other persons) response that he got 180 MPG in an Insight.

I also challenged the same person to come to VA and show me he could get 120 MPG in my Insight with a CVT on E10.

The offer was $2500 cash if he could do that.

Never heard any acceptance of that offer, and if he can do either 180 in a manual or 120 in a CVT he is averaging 22 MPH or less.

Guess I could borrow one of the universtiy vehicles that get 5-12000 MPG at 16 MPH and call his work insignificant.

Right?

Edit: He also insinuated that I was lying when I posted that I got 80 MPG in my CVT Insight on a 20 mile trip in 31 minutes through 23 traffic lights.

38 MPH average
