Default Sat, Oct. 13th, Houston Hybrid and Hypermiler's Club

Houston Hybrid & Hypermilers Club (aka H³C)

Basic discussions about hybrids and techniques to maximize fuel efficiency (both hybrid and non-hybrid).

Sat, Oct 13th @ Noon
La Salsa Restaurant, Cypress Texas (Houston Cy-Fair)
15202 Mason Rd (Northwest Houston Metro Area)

There is a banquet room as you walk in to the left. I'll get some fliers up so you know your in the right place.

La Salsa is just inside the Fairfield subdivision. Mason road is after Mueschke if on 290 westbound and after Bauer if on 290 eastbound.

Agenda
-TBD

Hybrids:
-2007 Toyota Prius with EBH and Factory EVb
-TBD

There are a few other places to eat if you want some other food.

I'll have my ScanGauge (fuel consumption display) so we can hook it up to your car to see real-time fuel usage. It works on most cars made after 1995. One thing that helps is knowing your engine size (displacement). This is usually represented in liters, cubic centimeters or cubic inches. An example would be a Mustang 5.0L V8.

Email or PM me and I'll pass along my cell number if you need it.

Meetings will always be held on the second Saturday of each month.

I enjoyed seeing you last month and looking forward to another great meeting.

I like the fact the FEH batteries are liquid cooled...I am entertaining the thought of maybe getting aquarium tubing and outside of the battery area attaching a pump to cool the battery pack.

They are not liquid cooled they are cooled by fans and if needed a small evaporator off the a/c system.

Picture of naked FEH battery pack, also some interesting PHEV stuff
