"Fons also suggested I talk with someone he'd dubbed "America's greatest hypermiler," Wayne Gerdes. The nuclear power plant operator in Illinois averaged more than 90 mpg for more than a year driving a manual transmission Honda Insight. He was part of a team that drove a Toyota Prius for more than 1,200 miles, in two straight days of driving, on a single tank of gas."

UPDATE: oops, sorry, I didn't realize this was the same article already published in the Washington Post! :embarassed:

I saw this in the Times "Highway 1" section yesterday. Always exciting when you pick up your paper and can say -- hey I know that guy.
