Default Hypermilers Re-enact the 1908 Ny to San Francisco Race

A pretty intersting read. It will be interesting to see how their mpg varies associated with different terrain and temperature.

I believe they are leaving Times Square at noon (CST). I've linked the live Times Square cameras below so see if you can catch a glimpse of their 2 Honda Civic Hybrids. They should have some sore of signage on the sides of the car.

Here is a good link to the "challenge". Too bad they couldn't use an Insight.
(There are at least four Insight drivers in the trip.)

The complete article is here;

I think I got it right.

Maybe it's time for another trip to meet them in Cobre, NV.
Anyone want to go?
