Well (69.5mpg), i raged one day (67.6), and had some good long forced regens till it started acting normal, then drove lazily efficient (66.9mpg). So i might gain a +2mpg increase, but hey, who says you always get it right on the first try.

Can't do the fancy hypermile stuff with engine off neutral pulse glide etc.

My gains shall be from driving with load and aeromodding. As such grill block preliminary testing and info gathering has been a success. Next week shall be devoted to front wheel skirt design and fabrication R&D. Followed by Lexan Kammback/Choroplast boat tail.

Very few fans and much stares. Haters be hatin,' Skaters be skatin' on the free horsepower of the wind. Driving a low drag vehicle will be a dream. Not many people approach the feeling of driving a concept car.
