    It sure was fun to open the newsletter and see the Marathon Men in all their glory.

    As a side note, did anyone notice that the driver with the highest mpg was NOT a Prius owner? That's right. It was the infamous Wayne Gerdes (xcel) who is part of the Madison Hybrid Group. He used to own an Insight, but has switched to a non-hybrid PZEV Accord.

    Yeap, that was pretty interesting to see Wayne as the highest. Especially since he had a great many negative things to say about the Prius on the Edmunds boards (he wasn't quite so vocal on Green Hybrid), at least until he test drove one. Then he became very Prius friendly.

    It will be interesting to see if the Marathon Men continue to randomly popup in stories. I think it is neat that they are still getting props for what they showed was possible!
