Default Re: Consumer Report's Blog Rips Hypermiling

Hi,

I smiled reading these two parts from the blog introduction:
Quote:
... I’m following a Honda Insight hybrid driving ... Maybe you’re trying to keep your Prius-o-meter above 50 mpg so you can post your results on Priuschat.com. ...
Hummm, I have to smile at the thought of an Insight was being abused to smack-down posters in Priuschat.com. Of course I may have a jaundiced view of PriusChat. I tend to hang out in the technical forums and monitor the "Fuel economy" forum for systemic postings that tie back to Prius architecture or physics.

Recently, a Washington Post reporter asked about 'competitive MPG driving' over in PriusChat. There have been nearly a dozen follow-ups and no one claims to have volunteered other sources. I had already silently sent an e-mail pointing to the GreenHybrid database with a suggestion that here is a place to find out what regular folks have been getting.
