Default Washington Post Article on Hypermiling

Every Sunday the Washington Post has a special section called "Sunday Source" in which they provide brief coverage of various topical subjects. Today's (8/6/06) issue is called "The Eco Issue" and among other short articles, includes one by Post staffer Joshua Zumbrun on hybrids and hypermiling. It's on page 5 if you've got the print edition; or here's the link (requires free registration).

There's nothing new to anyone on the board here, but it's nice to see the exposure. And Wayne Gerdes (XCEL) gets a nice plug as "America's greatest hypermiler". Green Hybrid also gets a mention - apparently Zumbrun visited the site shortly after buying his first hybrid (a 2001 Honda Insight). Dunno if he's still around but if you are, thanks Josh!

Will cross-post over on CleanMPG since I think Wayne mostly hangs out there.
