Purpose: Have a good time/Get to meet people from the forums. Lunch soft drinks will be provided. Drive a Prius and other hypermiling machines. The story of threading the needle on Reenactment II will be told. Several times if needed.

Who's invited: All interested hypermilers and hybrid owners.
Directions: From I-471 in Northern Kentucky. Exit 2 Alexandria Pike go east. Travel East 3/4 mile to Grandview. Turn left on Grandview. This is an uphill street. At the top of Grandview turn left on Ft. Thomas Ave. Go four blocks. At the intersection of Hwy 445 River Rd turn right. The right turn is not onto Hwy 445 River Rd., but just past Hwy 445 River Rd. The road doesn't have a street sign, but it goes behind the VA Hospital that is just past River Rd. Take the road toward the back of the VA Hosp and take the first left to go behind the VA Hosp. The picnic shelter is next to the tennis courts.

Re: Cincinnati/N. Kentucky Hybrid/Hypermiler's Meetup April 12th
Now I'm tempted to try and make my tank stretch until the 12th so I can coast in there on fumes... 
Let's see, I need to commute every day between now and Saturday, that's 30 miles a day, 120 in all, plus another 15, that's 135. 135 bare minimum. Probably 200 miles, really. Not a chance in hell although I'll certainly try.  |

Re: Cincinnati/N. Kentucky Hybrid/Hypermiler's Meetup April 12th
Small update--a reporter from Pulse DT, a local downtown magazine, gave me a call this morning. He asked some questions---what was hypermiling (getting the maximum fuel economy out of an automobile), what the goals and positive effects of hypermiling (national security, easier on the wallet, Ghg, etc...), what people do the most to waste gas (I said speed and hard starts/stops), and some other small-time stuff. I invited the guy to the meeting on the 12th.
