Default Re: Prius II - 100 + MPG Marathon Attempt - Live Updates ...

I can tell you that there are 4 really tired guys here and RJBarlow will step in to give us a hand. Dave and Wayne have been lifesavers dealing with the media and Wayne even had great success teaching P&G to some locals who dropped by because of the news coverage. Rick has turned out to be qute a thorn in my side, but without that thorn as well as training from Wayne and Rick on DWL, I wouldn't have been able to break the 105 barrier. I have learned a lot from these great friends.

Bob Barlow is equally impressive. He took Dave's Prius for a ride and showed great potential. Enough to include him in our rotation. By the way, Bob nailed a 90 MPG RT in his HCH. He is confident that he can do better. Hopefully he will get a chance to prove it. And Rick told me he nailed a 100+ RT in the Insight. Quite a feat on this route as it is clearly HSD optmized.

Goodnight for now.... I am exhausted.
