Ok, I know it's not DIRECTLY a fuel economy break-through, but I now have over 400 subscribers on YouTube.

This is almost exclusively through Electro-Metro build videos.

It looks like lots of people are watching these things. At the MREA energy fair, several people were already familiar with the car from YouTube!
