He was the cover story in the November 2007 issue of Fastcompany and was also covered by NPR.He converts large SUVs to hydrogen injected bio-desiels and other unconventional engines -- like a turbine powered hybrid -- giving them 2x the the horsepower and up to 6x the gas mileage.
Whenever I pull into a gas station with my Prius (two times a month, $20 a pop) I inevitably pull next to a guy driving something like this:
I figure they pay the logical consequence for their aerodynamic idiocy at the pump.My co-worker tells me that between his regular F-150 and his wife's Tahoe they spend $300 a month on gas. That is in addition to their car payments.

The best part of riding a bike to work is looking down into the windows of Priuses (Prii?) stuck in traffic as I pass them...

I wish I could ride a bike to work. That way I could:
1) Get some exercise
2) Save some money
3) Get some sun exposure (Vit D)
4) Commute to work
5) Listen to audio books/podcasts
Unfortunately, there is no safe route for me to travel. I think my life expectancy would be reduced by 60 years if I rode to work.
I loved that guys blog about calculating MPG from a bike. I would like to do a multi-day bike ride some time.
