basjoos, iI get a lot of media coverage for a project I head up and its all most always way off, for the most part.. don't sweat it , what media says is so not what reality is.. you have seen it in this small story .. its all a show for entertainment value.. with a bit or reality mixed in.
Any way I'm in this game , I'm looking at a CRX HE tomorrow with nice low miles.. Ill be doing something very similar to what you have done to your civic.. hopefully pulling down 80mpg like you are.. your a pioneer, even if you don't think you are, as its not hidden technology .. its just using it when its not used.. some of the best things are the oldest most obvious technology.. like the wheel and fire ad BIG hammers
