I hope this site has many, many birthdays to come. I appreciate that the moderators keep topics based on science and not just unfounded claims (even though there is even a place for them in the "unicorn garage"). Not everyone has a copy of Hucho's work or would even know how to interpret his research. There is no other site like this one with such knowlegeable and helpful threads and posts to help us in our quest to drive farther while using less energy in the process. Thanks EcoModder.
