Default Getting 60mpg at 360mph

Here is a short video I made with the cameras on my car. Google really makes the video crappy but this was just an experiment anyway. I had problems keeping the rear camera on. For some reason if the camera is on but not being displayed it will turn off in a few minutes.

I was looking for a shot of MFD or some confirmation that you got 60 MPG at the end.

How did you get 360 MPH? Fast forward the video 6X?

What I find amusing is the obvious Prius-style driving. You can often see, from the rear view camera, the cars behind you coming closer, then falling back, then coming closer, then falling back.

In town I was just coasting up to the the red lights trying not to stop. After I got off the highway and on to that next road I was doing a lot of P&G there. After I stopped at that store I was just going with the flow of traffic most of the time.

Just a note for those without a wide angle camera when you see the cars they are with in about 10 feet of my bumper. If you can read the license plates they are with in inches! If you cant see the cars well they are the proper distance away.

Here is another video of my normal daily commute to and from work. The rear camera had problems recording again so I just used the front camera. I also used the "I cant drive 55" song again just for the hell of it.





I think I might do this on my way to Hybridfest.
