Well it was a success. 10 participants, 9 finishers. I must say, very impressive numbers by all!

Wayne Gerdes attracted a local TV station to spread the hypermiling word. The weather kind of sucked, but the booth still received a fair amount of traffic.

AndrewJ had alot of Q&A from the public about his tasteful aero mods. Thanks to his patient wife hanging out at the mall for hours and hours while he did his thing.

The rally was ranked on % over EPA. So here is how it stacked up:

Name: Actual MPG EPA Combined % of EPA Vehicle Desc.
Kim Yee 63.64 33.00 192.84% 02 Saturn SL1
Wayne Gerdes 113.50 64.00 177.34% 02 Honda Insight
Bill Kinney 106.90 64.00 167.03% 03 Honda Insight
Andrew Johnmeyer 68.58 42.00 163.28% 94 Civic CX
Roland Kouhsen 45.07 29.00 155.42% 07 Civic EX
Jud Engeles 95.40 64.00 149.06% 02 Honda Insight
Dan Wright 61.82 45.00 137.38% 00 VW Golf TDI
Matt Oberfield 61.69 45.00 137.10% 03 VW Golf TDI
Ed Miller 63.73 47.00 135.59% 93 Geo Metro
Randy Smith DNF (Problem with final fuel fill.)
