Hey, one of those hyper-mile drivers is a member of this forum, Wayne Gerdes, aka 'Xcel'. He used to surf & post regularly on this site, altho I haven't seen him around lately - now I know why . . .

Congratulations Xcel !!! (I think . . .) :rolleyes::rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I remember Car and Driver magazine and others magazines had a "MPG contest". They used Honda Insights though.

C/D guys are funny! They used a modified Ford Exscursion as a wind blocker! They whooped every magazine's butt, but I can't remember the MPG #. I can't find the article right now, but if I find it online I will post it.

It says Xcel is a nuclear plant operator. I thought he ran a landscaping business?? Maybe he switched his line of work.

Xcel was pretty vocal about the MPG stuff. It's gotta be him

Heck yes he was/is! If memory serves right, he could get 30+ mpg in his MDX.

Check this old thread. http://www.acuramdx.org/forums/show...el&pagenumber=7

Thanks JL_SS. I didn't realize that.

Yes I think it is the same guy too. He has been quiet a while though. His last post was 02-23-2005 10:16 PM.

Maybe since he worked at a nuclear power plant his body supplied some nuclear power to the car for better gas mileage. :D

And he was a landscaper. I wonder if his grass had a glow to it?

Probably had the best looking grass at night without having to use landscape lighting..........:2: .
