Yeah, it's a G1 Insight. It becomes pretty much aerodynamically invisible like a stealth bomber when I'm in a truck's slipstream.
For part of the drive last night, the semi slowed in front of me to like 60 mph, and my instant mpg gauge maxed out (150 mpg) the whole time we were at that speed. The truck literally pulled me down the road, and I wasn't right up on his bumper, I was at a safe distance but still in the bubble!

Mostly though I just bumble around at 50 mph on the back roads, I don't like the highway much since a Mini cooper looks big compared to the Insight.
