Yeah Ron, like azav. said you could have made your trip expense if you had been in Phoenix for the meet. If you had a BB with you I probably would have gotten one. Maybe next time.

I know I would have liked to meet you and discuss the BetterBattery.

Good to hear you had a fun trip though!
That's more like 14 hours (each way) or 2-3 extra days of travel. I did toy with heading down to Santa Fe to visit Eli, but it would have added another 12 hours of driving round trip.

I expect to come through Phoenix next fall on my way home from SF. Maybe we could meet up then.

I'm willing to help put something together when you can give some dates. It would be nice if we could make it a more regional thing. Maybe you could get a caravan going with some West coasters! Hopefully gilbertguy is watching, as he did an AWESOME job with this last one...

Sorry for the hijack...

I've got all the contact info for about 15 local Insight owners so keep me in the loop and we can get the email train going for local support once we have dates.

Since getting my BetterBattery I get 20 bars with mine all the time - day, night whatever. Not only do I get 20 bars, but the car stops regen-ing because the battery is full.

NEVER been below 17 bars for that matter . . .

Well NOW you do. That's the point.

Have you seen an increase in MPG?
