Thanks, team! AutoblogGreen takes fifth in EcoDriving challenge
Need a quick little something to do during your lunch break? The EcoDriving game from the Auto Alliance has been up since September and AutoblogGreen readers have managed to - as a team - come in fifth place in the overall rankings. To mark our/your ecodriving skills, the Auto Allliance has paid to offset the carbon emissions of an "average sized car" for a year in our name. Thanks, y'all.
Now, a quick look at the EcoDriving leader board shows that Wonkette Readers are pretty untoppable in first place, but I think we can move up from fifth, don't you? I think it's doable to overtake the Political Wire Readers and maybe even TPM. Got a few minutes? Remember to read the tips about emptying the trunk and pumping up the tires before setting out on your journey.

I try to go slow with my dodge neon 2005 and it goes very bad because at low rpm the engine is tune to run lean and vibrate and choke so i have to downshif but when the rpm raise it's still too much lean and still vibrate and run with hiccups. Anyway im shopping for an economical car with a 2 liter ice power by hydrogen with water mist of approx 200 h.p. This should cost nothing to run and should drive like a champ without pollution and could cost approx the same price of a corrolla , 14 000$ or more depending if they fit sport suspention and brakes and electronically control shock absorbers. I don't know why the chineses or any new start-up compagny don't offer this on the market ??? They could erase toyota, bmw, mercedes chrysler, tata, fiat, Gm, etc from business. They can for beginning just buy new car from actual manufacturers and change the gasoline devise, and put hydrogen from a water electrolyser, around 1500$ and charge 4000$ more so big profit margin is possible. It would raise the power and fuel saving and drivability. There is no car business actually to speak of, this is sad . I was hoping then some millionaire gave me 10 000$ to do the project but nebody showed even if i write here since 4 years...sigh.
