Houston Texas Roll Call
Just trying to stir up some interest in a Houston Fuel Efficiency / Hybrid Club. I guess the first meet would have been the EBH+EV install. So to be consistent, how does the Second Saturday of every month sound?
Jul 14th
Aug 11th
Sep 8th
Oct 13th
Well you get the point. Topics could include modifications/installs, technical questions, driving clinics and just whatever else we can think of. If nothing else... an excuse for beer and pizza.
So next up with be the 14th. Anyone want to join? I have a friend with a Highlander Hybrid that I might try to convince.
Either post to the thread, email me, or send me a PM.

Re: Houston Texas Roll Call
Dan,
I doubt I can make every second saturday of the month, but I'm sure I can make 1 or 2.

Re: Houston Texas Roll Call
Hi, been interested in hypermiling since reading the Motherjones article on Wayne Gerdes. Not sure about some of the riskier techniques, but would like to learn more, especially since it's supposed to work w/ regular cars like mine.
Not sure how much interest you'll get from Houston, I'm new here & relative to most major cities, IMHO it doesn't seem like a very progressive city...I hope to be proven wrong  |

Well the average views are likely more conservative than other cities, but with 5 million people to choose from, even a small percentage is a large number.
Well, Welcome to Houston and CleanMPG. Glad you found us.

Re: Houston Texas Roll Call
bump
Flacked on the the other meets, but after seeing Eric's work at Hybridfest I started feeling guilty.
So Aug 11th is on, even if it's only me.
Houston Hybrid & Hypermilers Club (aka H³C)
Sat, Aug 11th @ Noon
Sonic Drive-In, Cypress Texas (Houston Cy-Fair)
26044 Highway 290 (Northwest Houston Metro Area)
There are some tables in the center of the sonic and I'll be hanging out with a tan baseball cap reading "CleanMPG.com".

Re: Houston Texas Roll Call
I think it would be possible for me to come occasionally.
