Re: Madison Hybrid Group – Next Get Together - September 17th.
I have pictures posted on our latest Madison gathering. We had 5 2nd gen Prius, 2 Insights and 1 Lexus 400h. In all about 10 people present, with the majority being new hybrid owners.
We had a general discussion about the benefits of GPS systems and the new tax incentives for hybrid purchases. There was alot of discussion on the importance of relearning driving techniques when you purchase a hybrid vehicle. It is like any tool, it is what you do with it that will make a difference. More experienced members shared some of the basic techniques to try out and gave out several web sites to check out too for additional help.
We finished up with 4 members taking the others out to teach them the pulse and glide ( P&G ) technique on the Prius. All members now have basic training on P&G and can add that to their education on relearning how to effectively drive a hybrid.
I think the members were excited on learning these new techniques and felt supported my members that know these skills work. I thank Eric for setting this gathering up and for his follow through in expanding our membership.
