If the Fit has a readout of power consumed we could use that. Or -

There are charging in stations at Big Y in Lee and Johnson Nissan in Pittsfield.

Of course petro-powered cars won't be able to duplicate the location, neither will have gasoline. But if either location works for you, we could probably just note your energy consumption from the receipt printout. If there's an EPA or other standard estimate of energy consumption, we can score against that. It's a friendly competition anyway, not really a big deal. I'm planning on scoring by % over EPA combined city/highway estimate. Raw #s will of course also be visible.

Top up before the start and then recharge immediately afterwards. The ChargePoint chargers record exactly how many kW's were used during post event recharging. They are much more accurate than pumping gasoline.
