Neil, unless I missed something, we both beat the Camarys( 37&45 to them - 53&57 to us), but I do agree with what you are saying. Every Prius there did do better than us, and I'm guessing, the lowest MPGs from them were from complete rookies, and THAT should be their focus for a sales pitch. I figured( wrongly, as it turns out) that the winner was going to be the best MPG, hence my statment here," If I can beat one Prius, I'll be happy.", and my statement to Wayne just before handing in my Ralley sheet,"You don't have to worry about ME winning anything."

I got the chocolate/peanut butter cup, they were out of mint chocolate chip so my son settled for cookie dough, both larges, and MMMMMM MMM! Good!
