'Seems like you guys (hypermiling Senseis) are out there on the "familiar" course, still running on the "fumes".

Since, in relation to the initial goal, it now seems like a question of "when" and not "whether", I'll offer an early, New England accolade, heretofore associated with the winners of the 2004 World's Series.

WICKED AWESOME !!!

Tomorrow, I'll be inspired to apply the "P&G" technique on my commute: "Pedal and Groan" (on the bicycle).

Joking aside, I hope the media will allow you a well deserved rest. After that, as before and during the event, perhaps there will be opportunities to explain to the world that innovation isn't only the technology, but also the imagination and the initiative to use it to its optimum potential.
In this case, the potential benefits to the environment and the global economy are enormous.

'Congratulations, and a big HIGH-FIVE !

'gonEfishnt; seeking a smaller ecological footprint, and the bigger picture

congratulations and many thanks to the hardworking participants of this historic accomplishment. Ya'll have been my mentors for over a year now when it comes to driving strategies and I anxiously await the details of your 48 hour ordeal.

By the way, my guess of 1400 was pretty darn close. I think it will be revealed that Dan intentionally ran out to leave the 1400 mile barrier intact for future attempts. Way to go guys.

Congratulations!! You did the nearly unthinkable, and by more than +9% to boot! Makes me wonder what would be possible if a new Insight-like vehicle was introduced with all of the latest hybrid technology that's come out in the last 7 years since the original Insight was designed. Then I can only guess you'd be shooting for 130mpg or more.

Great job, really. Have you thought about having this validated by the Guinness World Records? Have you been told when this will be airing on HBO? Take a breather and savor the accomplishment!
