completed my second lesson today...a referrel...went well again...$20 and the guy booked another next week to work on pulse and glide and to help lose weight in his lead foot. he drives about 400 miles a week so he can really benefit from increased mpg. as a comparison i drive about 400 miles a month!

today was a sinch...guy drives a 4runner like me and gets below epa due to commute into boston 5 days a week...couldnt ask for a better driver to work with! i pulled 7 more mpg than him on a 10 mile trip...for him that could mean an extra $1000 to $1500 in his pocket every year! i do get a somewhat evil inner laugh when i let them drive first and watch all the mistakes they make...the guy today was pedal to the metal...then brakes...then hammer down....all 10 miles. i thought his rpm was going to peg the scanguauge!

the bigger news from today is the guy gave me a great name for my biz. when he saw my 7 mpg over his he said if i could get him to that number he'd be a super commuter...and i heard a little bell ring in my head.

my new business could be called Super Commuter! and my hook could be "Driving in the Smart Lane"...great logo could be the superman logo with an S and a C in the middle...let me know what you think!
