Very impressive Mike.

I very much appreciated the opportunity to talk at length with you about your AeroCivic in the summer of 2009 at Madison HybridFest. I commend your foresight to modify your car in such as way to not only help the environment, but also pave the way for others to follow.

I think we've also figured out that the AeroCivic engine must also put out more horsepower in lean burn mode than the Insight as well, so this is also a factor.

Jim.
