Gee, thanks a lot, Duane

Hypermiler willing to go to extremes for good mileage - Cleveland Lifestyles – Living, Food, Health & Fitness News from The Plain Dealer

Duane Price forgives you for honking. He smiles serenely from behind the wheel of his Prius as you tear past, spewing expletives, even flipping him the bird. He has reason to be happy. He's averaging 80 miles to the gallon around town. And you're not.

If you find yourself riding the bumper of his egg-shaped gas-electric hybrid going slightly under the speed limit, don't get mad at Duane. He's saving the planet.

Not only can he travel nearly 900 miles on a 12-gallon tank, he's cutting his CO2 emissions, the main culprit in global warming.
