Here's a few pics from the MPG rally/alternative energy fair.

Here are all the hypermilers that were competing in the MPG rally (sans myself and the blue Insight that bestmapman and Wayne drove)






And here's everyone getting ready to go on the MPG rally course. Bestmapman ran the course earlier (I think) while myself and Wayne ran the course several hours later.






Here's a few shots of the EV grand prix that was going on throughout the day. These were electric trikes, and some of them where pretty damn fast.











And here are a few of the electrics that were hanging around.

There were several Zapcars. Pretty cool little cars, you Canadians can only drool....





Here's an electric Porsche 914




And an electric pickup truck powered by Ni-Cad aircraft starter batteries. 1.2 volts and 30aH each!





And last but not least an old Citicar that was just sitting in the parking lot, someone drove it to the fair, but wasn't showing it!




And here's the best-looking metro I've ever seen, better yet, it's an XFI conversion. MetroMike's car.
