Madison, Wisconsin.

Calling all hybrid owners and anyone interested in hybrid cars. Insight, Civic, Accord, Escape, Prius, RX 400h and more.

Next Saturday morning April 2nd, from 10:00 -11:30 the Madison Hybrid Group will meet at the Greenway Station Starbucks in Middleton, Wisconsin.

We’ll have updates about upcoming hybrids and in addition to your own hybrid, there will be a hard-to-find Honda Accord Hybrid available for exploring.

Come share stories and tips, complain (or gloat) about high gas prices, as well as vent any frustrations about those pesky EPA mileage estimates. Even if you don’t own a hybrid car, but want to find out more about hybrid, please feel free to join us. Fun is guaranteed!

If you know you are coming, send me a private message, post a reply here, or email me at the address in my profile. That way we obtain a big enough table for our group.

See you there!

Eric Powers

Justin F.
I look forward to seeing you this weekend.
Do you have the “hot air” modification already set up in your Insight? If not, search the archives and get the necessary components and bring them to the event. I’d be happy to show you in person how to set it up. It only takes a few minutes, costs very little, and has a nice impact on gas mileage.

xcel,

Eric really does set up a good one if the Milwaukee Brewers Game - Hybrid Group Meet was any indication.

Thanks for the kind words. Your comment made me start checking on another Miller Park get together. I'll start another post once I have some more details. Basically it will be on a Sunday at 1:05 since that's when tickets are cheapest. $10 "Terrace Reserved" tickets which includes a hot dog and a soda. We'll just have to come up with a date. I'll bring up this topic at the Hybrid get-together this Saturday and see what people think. We'll need at least 25 people. But this shouldn't be a problem since 33 responded last year.

I can understand holding off on the mod.
If you come to any of the events, I'll show you my mod so you'll have the idea for future reference. It's easy to put on and even easier to remove.

Tomorrow's event will be fun. Cars slated for coming
Honda Insight
Honda Accord
Classic Prius
2004 Prius

The Honda Civic Hybrisd owners that have replied said they cannot make it. But who knows maybe their plans will change.
