Default Pulse and Glide Class - Sign up. Trainers needed (MHG 9/17 meeting)

Many of you have read about the Pulse and Glide technique used during the mpg marathon last weekend. Using the technique, the drivers achieved 110 mpg for a whole tank of gas in an unmodified Prius. This technique can be applied easily to other Toyota/Lexus hybrids as well.

As part of the Madison Hybrid Group September 17 meeting in Middleton, WI, we will have a Behind-The-Wheel “Pulse and Glide” class. We may even have one of the marathon drivers, Wayne Gerdes, there as a trainer!

If you are coming to the meeting and interested in learning the P&G technique at the meeting let me know ASAP so we can reserve a spot for you.


And on a related note…
*Request for Volunteers*
We will need at least four people to volunteer to be P&G trainers.
If you are a local Madison person and are willing to be a “trainer”, but don’t know how to P&G yet, contact me now. We can figure out a date to meet over the lunch hour and I’ll show you how to P&G. It’s easy to learn and then you’ll be able to show others during our September meeting.
