Re: Hybrid car enthusiasts plan to achieve 100 mpg
Hi Tbaleno:
___I just arrived into Pittsburgh about 3 hours go. It was raining for much of my drive out but it looks like we might have good weather here for the rest of the weekend? My fingers are crossed.
___I took one more shot at the course just to make sure given the new added segment from my test runs a few weeks ago. So far, no problems have come up. My own RT practice segment resulted in a nice 44.3 Km/L showing on the SuperMid which is equivalent to 104.2 mpg for the RT. Results from last night had Rick Reese hitting a 103.x RT segment on his first run without a stitch of practice other then Dan showing him the route! Dave nailed a 101.x miles per hour RT run on his first go around with 3 in Dan’s Prius II last night. The real wild one came from Dan himself who nailed down an eye opening 104.7 mpg RT with Rick, Dave, and himself in the car and the windows rolled down! If the weather holds out as predicted, Dave and I will lose a little FE in the night shifts but hopefully maintain the 100 + mpg average for Rick and Dan to nail it shut during the day segments.
___I have to go as Dave is with Ellen and Rosie right now. That leaves some time for Rick and I to go get a bite.
___I will update quite a bit more this evening once we are all together and the “Marathon Attempt” begins.
___Good Luck
___Wayne
