    Houston Hybrid & Hypermilers Club (aka H³C)

    Basic discussions about hybrids and techniques to maximize fuel efficiency (both hybrid and non-hybrid).

    Sat, Aug 11th @ Noon
    Sonic Drive-In, Cypress Texas (Houston Cy-Fair)
    26044 Highway 290 (Northwest Houston Metro Area)

    There are some tables in the center of the sonic and I'll be hanging out with a tan baseball cap reading "CleanMPG.com" (sorry guys, I don't have a PC cap).

    Google Map

    Agenda
    -Prius Block Heater Install walk-through.
    -EV Button Install walk-through.
    -Hypermiling (Eco-Driving) tips and tricks.
    -ScanGaugeII test runs and driving clinics.
    -General Hybrid Q&A.

    There are a few other fast food joints and one pizza place in the area if you want some other food.

    I'll have my ScanGauge (fuel consumption display) so we can hook it up to your car to see real-time fuel usage. It works on most cars made after 1995. One thing that helps is knowing your engine size (displacement). This is usually represented in liters, cubic centimeters or cubic inches. An example would be a Prius 1.5L 4cyl.

    Email or PM me and I'll pass along my cell number if you need it.

    Shameless bump to peak any latecomers interest.

    For those hoping to make next month's meeting, they will be on the Second Saturday of each month at Noon. I'll find a better venue eventually, but for now Sonic will do.

    Meetings will be:
    Aug 11
    Sep 8
    Oct 13
    Nov 10
    Dec 8

    Well you get the point :)

    Maybe I can come to install MIMA on my Insight so everybody can see a little mushroom cloud over Cypress, Texas. :D

    Well one of the senior PCers with the Plug-In conversion is in Houston ;)

    What I really need to do is give out free stuff. Don't know how to do that without buying the stuff making it decidedly not free (for me at least). Maybe I could hold one at Whole Foods on their Saturday "happy-hour".
