My 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid placed FIRST in the stock Honda Civic Hybrid category of the 2005 NESEA Tour de Sol Monte Carlo Style Rally with the highest fuel efficiency!
There was some concern that we were soundly beaten by a Canadian who was initially scored at 75 mpg. Chris Bertlesen suggested that the race officials may have erred in calculating his milege. Indead, they had forgotten to convert his odometer from kilometers to miles. After the correction was made it was confirmed that our #72 HCH was the winner with highest fuel efficiency in the category! Victory!
HCH category MPGs:
Veh. # Net MPG Entrant
72 61.17 J. Laughlin
61 56.37 Seal
77 53.65
88 46.31 M.Houle <-- Knocked down pretty far from 74!

Note: the results haven't been updated to correct the error yet, but NESEA assures me that their webmaster will post them tomorrow morning.
Big thanks to the team, Chris Bertlesen, and Ania Malczyk!
