It is a PASS/FAIL contest against the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. I'm trying to encourage wide-spread attempts to double the miles on one tank which by itself is a real challenge.

That is a different race but sad to say, it is no longer being held and I don't remember who won or what was their prize. Now if we get 10 or more folks wearing a useful piece of clothing, year round that shows what a gas-only, Prius can achieve, it will be well worth the small price paid.
