I am writing a story for the Pensacola News Journal about hypermilers. If you live in the Pensacola area, and would be willing to talk to me, please contact me at rallen@pnj.com.
Hi Rebekah. Our community is very friendly, and I'm sure that you will find some members close by to do an interview/clinic. Due to some recent misconceptions in the press, I want to make it clear that we are a safety oriented community. Although there are ways to increase your mileage that are not safe, they are not condoned or encouraged as hypermiling techniques. It is best to focus on the things that everyone can do to increase they're mileage safely. You could try PMing Wayne Gerdes (member Xcel) to see if he has any contacts in the area, but I'm sure that you'll get some responses soon enough. In the meantime, the best place to start for some background information is Wayne's article "Beating the EPA", the link is at the bottom of my signature. Good luck! Kirk
