Hey thanks Wayne. Yes, I do want to compare head to head. But after the Prius's and Insight's and the H-Honda's around LA take my challenge and get 70-80 MPG I will then up the ante to betting I can load 10 2 X 4's and 6 boxes of Nails and 3 pallets of roof shingles in my Escape and we will then try the course again, head to head.

Of course, I am kidding. I want so much for all of us alternative vehicle owners to be a community. I know that the other Hybrids that are being sold at the moment cannot match the utility of my FEH, but that is why I need it. I would rather match my MPG over these courses up to the Gas Explorers and Navigators and monitor their emissions the whole way.

My challenge is only a game. Not a life and death struggle of mankind.

Mike
