Our first annual Hybridfest in July of 2006 was a great success.  With over 180 Hybrid vehicles on hand and over 2,000 people in attendance, we surpassed even our greatest expectations.

A big heart-felt THANK YOU to all the Hybridfest volunteers, sponsors, vendors, and friends who made the 2006 Hybridfest a success!

Hybridfest 2006 MPG Challenge Results

Part of the fun at Hybridfest was a 20 miles Hybridfest MPG Challenge. This was an event where hybrid car owners could take their hybrid car on a 20-mile route to see what gas mileage they could achieve. It was amazing to see the results.

Everyone who competed beat the EPA fuel economy estimates for their respective vehicle. And in some cases people even doubled the EPA estimates.

Interestingly, the top winners in the Prius and modified Insight categories actually maxed out the fuel consumption meters. In other words, the meter didn't go any higher. So in reality their fuel economy may have been considerably higher than what was reported!

Even though there were prizes, the event was more for fun, and to show what is possible if you really try. Congratulations to all who participated!
