Re: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

Welcome to CleanMPG. I tried to squeeze an extra MPG or two out of a standard WRX I owned a couple of years ago but it was hard to stay out of the loud pedal. I then traded it for a new (at the time)...

Re: Start-Up Claims to Convert Any Car into a Hybrid

True, it's not much power but if you're on slippery stuff, and forget to disarm the retrofitted hybrid system, and it kicks in, then the fun will really start. :eek:

Re: Danger, Danger - Will Robinson!!! Hypermiling!!!

Wayne did a nice job as usual, but it is a nonsense story. There is no intro, they do not drive a point home, and they have no closure. Very amateurish..
