A "cruise"/"mpg rally" does sound interesting.... OTH driving for driving sake seems contradictory to [my] hybrid philosophy, conservation. But there is no need to be prudish about this. :-) Maybe a driving event in the 20-30 mile range judged on MPG (see other postings in this forum)

Nope, but I do have 2 12v outlets.

RE "...summer...": Agreed, a JUN, JUL, AUG time frame is what I was thinking.

RE "...BBQ, cookout...": Not too keen on this idea, lots of extra work that takes away time from... "meet & greet"

The whole "meet & greet" thing is what I had in mind. I was thinking about an event that would facilitate discussion and maybe demonstrations of how to get the most out of our respective cars. I was also hoping that the event would get a little "PR" via the news media to attract non-hybrids drivers, but that my be asking too much.

What ever we do, if we do anything, should probably be simple with a few focused activities. Let's hear from other CO Hybrid drivers and what would be interesting to them... Anybody?
