friendly hypermiling challenge currently running

[thorpemobile]

Hello All,
I thought you might be interested in a current hypermiling challenge on a new platform, Luum (dot com), that lets you create friendly challenges to motivate participation and sharing for real world impact.

Our objective for this challenge is to get people to try some basic hypermiling techniques, but we welcome participants of all levels. This challenge runs until the end of May and is open to any kind of vehicle (conventional, hybrid, electric).

As this is a beta, or pilot challenge for the platform, we'd love to have more folks involved and to get feedback on future directions for hypermiling challenges--what should the winning metric be? what would make appealing rewards or prizes? who would sponsor challenges? what's the best way to express the positive ecological and economic impacts that result from the challenge? and so forth

Thanks,

Ann Thorpe
