Imagine you did not have the SuperMID and you had a nice and colorfull MFD which always displayed 99.9MPG and the good guess gauge.

Ken, without your SuperMID I don't think there is any way we could have done what we did. It gave us the feedback we needed to keep honing our technique as we went. And I think all the drivers would agree that we didn't in any way establish the apex of what the Prius is capable of, but rather established a high altitude base camp from which future assaults on the yet to be identified summit can be launched. The rate at which we improved as we interpreted data from your wonderful instrument and shared techniques was astounding to us. For me to set a mark on my second attempt that would have been our best to date a few shifts earlier but in actuality dropped our average a tenth by the time I did it is just one indicator of how quickly we improved as we went. If we had the energy and time to start all over again today I can't even imagine what we might have been capable of, but would need another day to get all the extra driving in.
Thanks again - you were a critical part of our success.
