Today on my dialy commute I was listening to the AM radio out of Gainsville, Ga.
(Stevo's area)
They were commenting about a hybrid article in USA Today (I think it was) about how EPA rates almost all cars high above real world performance and especially hybrid.
One thing I did catch was:

"At least the Honda Civic Hybrid gets a closer EPA rating at 47MPG according to the consumers at Greenhybrid dot com website"

Wow that was nice suprise to hear.

Congradulations Jason you're now on the radio! :wacko:

The station is in my HCH radio's preset at 550Mhz on the dial.
The station was fading as I entered the city of Atlanta this afternoon.
(About 50 miles away)

Thanks I was wondering where the triple-visitors came from yesterday. Didn't show up on web logs!

Do you know about what time you were driving? I'd like to contact the program and thank them for spreading the word.

I wonder if it has something to do with the kind of person who would buy a HCH vs. a Prius.

The HCH blends in.
The Prius stands out.

I think the buyers have different profiles and driving style may be a part of it.

Need fewer troops to support.
Drive a hybrid.
Best tank 71.65 MPG.

Before this car I spent two years learning hypermiling on my 2004 HCH1.
