Craig Vetter is conducting an experament as we all know. every experament requires controls in order to be meaningful, the rules are the controls and the rules are changing to get to the answer he/we are looking for. I use most of the hypermiling methods recomended on this site. We ecomodders are a vanishingly small group as a proportion of the driving public as we all know. Craigs question is about the vehicle not the driving of the vehicle. I have yet to see a set of rules that keep everyone happy, each rule sends us off in a deferent direction, Craigs rules are no different.
I for one had a good laugh when I read his comments and thought dam my secret wepon has been found and now I will have to pay even more attention to the aerodynamics. Which is exactly what the rules are aimed at.
