Mario Enriquez averaged 9.74 miles per gallon from February to April in an International ProStar... For that, his employer, Mesilla Valley Transportation (MVT), awarded him a Nissan Versa compact car. Enriquez wasn't even the best of the company's drivers in the latest quarter, but no driver is allowed to win more than once and all those ahead of him were previous winners.

You can tell the really good drivers have already won, because Enriquez says there's no real trick to getting good mileage. "Just take it easy."
Here's the REALLY interesting part of the story though: the company's trucks are governed to 62 mph...

...but any driver who gets over 8 miles per gallon is allowed to go up to 65 miles per hour.
