Here's a crazy story about Wayne Gerdes, a "hypermiler" obsessed with squeezing every last drop of gasoline out of his driving. He can get 59 MPG in his regular Honda Accord, and got 180 MPG from a Honda Insight at "Hybridfest." Funny thing is, the Insight tops out at 99MPG on its digital readout, so they had to switch to kilometers per gallon in order to measure his results. Love the part about the "death turn" and his ice vest...
