    One of those inspired by Gerdes is Tony Schaefer, founder of Chicago’s Prius Group (www.chicagopriusgroup.com), likeminded hybrid-lovers who meet periodically around the metropolitan area hear discussions on topics ranging from car parts to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to hypermiling.

    Cheaper ways to drive will be the topic of Schaefer’s speech at July’s Hybrid Fest in Madison, Wis. In addition to the strategies already discussed, Schaefer said he will “liken driving a car to riding a bike. You don’t accelerate when you’re going downhill.â€

    Whoo hoo! Way to go Tony! I'm so glad that you started the Chicago Prius Group. You are a great spokesperson and will surely inspire many others. Congrats!
