Hi All:

___Most may not know Dennis Gaffney but he was the independent journalist out of Albany, NY who came along with us for Hybridfest 2006.

Dennis is the individual at the far left side of the pic with his thumb and index fingers in the air ;)

___Although HF2006 was an absolutely great time for all to meet and get to know one another, learn and see new things, teach, and to generally enjoy a weekend away from the real world, its real purpose was to promote Hybrid vehicles to a somewhat confused public. With that, the best thing that could have come out of Hybridfest was we all did out part to convince Dennis that a high FE capable vehicle, namely a Hybrid automobile, should be in his drive. When you look at the price above, I think you can tell he did it in grand style and at a huge savings as well! He was considering a Ford Focus station wagon for his family but after finding out about the benefits, driving with Hobbit in the Prius II, sharing hybrid stories with Terry, staying with Tony Schaefer at the Clarion, in Madison, he finally succumbed and has now became assimilated :D At the price he picked up the Prius II for, all I can say is he has one hell of a vehicle and for a price that we should all be envious of!

Base Prius II MSRP: $21,725
Destination Charge: $580
Amount under MSRP: $1,000
Tax Credit: $3,150

Total: $18,155 + tax!

___Good Luck

___Wayne

I was gonna ask about him, in fact. He was doing his journo
thing all weekend, taking voluminous notes about everything in
sight. Where has that all gone, i.e. has he written anything up
about the Fest yet? Where would it be likely to emerge?

He wrote something about Wayne and myself. I proofed it last Monday. Haven't heard anything since.

Hi All,

Yes, Dennis is writing about Hypermiling. He called me about the Purchase of the Prius II that Wayne was just talking about in his Post. He was wanting to know how to handle the Dealer and thought I would have some pointers on that. I did and it looks like he followed my guidelines and did very well. :D Also Dennis mentioned that he was trying to get finished with the Article about Hypermiling.

So Dennis did get the New ride. :bananajump:
