HybridFest 2007 - We came, we saw

From the onset of the MPG Challenge on Friday to the conversion of Wisconsin Power’s stock Toyota Prius to a plug-in hybrid on Sunday, HybridFest 2007 was the most rockin’ party for treehuggers, hypermilers and other greenfolk that side of the Atlantic. whether you feel not good that you didn’t form it, you should. But to take the edge off, I’m here to tell you about it - as faraway as you promise to compose it next year.

First of all, keep your eyes peeled here at AutoblogGreen, considering we’ll have interviews from happy hybrid owners, hypermilers (including those that competed in the MPG Challenge), and other attendees of various shades of green. You’ll additionally find out how to get much better fuel economy that the EPA estimates, as enlarged as you’re okay with being tailgated. We’ll plus have a video of

my sample attempt of the MPG Challenge in a Toyota Highlander Hybrid - it wasn’t pretty.

Last year, HybridFest visitors endured the heat external, but that year the event was in the air-conditioned consolation of the Exhibition corridor of the Dane County Fairgrounds, and was reportedly bigger and better than final year. Count on that being the theme of next year’s Fest as well. Attendees were able to view exhibits from major automakers and their green offerings, alternative fuel promoters, green product manufacturers, and even a vintage Aston Martin V8 Vantage running on E85 (see gallery). I don’t agree with the fuzzy seat covers, but to each their own. I’ll see you there again next year!
