Tango Charlie Deadly Efficient Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: Goshen, Indiana Posts: 1,234 Olivia - '03 Pontiac Vibe base 90 day: 36.01 mpg (US) R2-D2 - '00 Honda Insight 90 day: 58.81 mpg (US) Thanks: 134 Thanked 176 Times in 91 Posts	Round One Success I beat an ecomodder moderator in the Ultimate Ecomodder Fuel Economy Challenge! cfg83 gave me a run for my money, but I squeezed him out after some intense pulse and gliding this week. That little green star just wasn't enough to hold Olivia back! Ha Ha! I must say, cfg83 was a very worthy opponent, and I seriously doubted I could keep up with him. He was a really good sport at putting up with all my trash talk, too. Uh oh. Who am I up against for round two? woof. No rest for the weary! __________________ -Terry
