On the subject of 'shoes', the person interviewed should have stated that. Of course I am assuming he didn't. Weight savings sounds silly, feeling the accelerator doesn't.

Yep those news people seem to have a story in mind when they do the interviews, and will pull the footage that supports it.

Hobbit and I were interviewed by WBZ tv channel 4 from Boston for a hypermiler piece that will air during the 11 oclock news this coming Wed.

I asked Elsie Nolan the interviewer right up front if they would be portraying us a whackos or people serious about reducing our carbon footprint.
Lets see if they do what they say, and present a balanced view.
They took over 3 hours of video, everything from having a camera record my gauges while we drove and talked, to following me with a camera, to watch the E-wheel raise and lower.
Hobbit said they took about the same with him. They will somehow filter all of that to 2 minutes.
Should be interesting.
The clip is also supposed to be on the wbztv.com website after it airs.

Be sure to record it Mike. I look forward to seeing it.

Cool, I saw myself in that video. When Billy jumps up go get his award, I'm the big guy in the green shirt standing and clapping in the back
