It was 4 years ago that I embarked across Canada in a diesel smart car for over 30 days and 10,000 miles on the 100 MPG Challenge. In addition to allowing the City of Abbotsford to utilize my smart car for promoting the One Tonne Challenge via a full wrap with colourful graphics, I also set up this site to promote greater awareness of how automobiles impact climate change.

Since then, the ScanGauge fuel economy computer, and the term ‘hypermiling’ have taken many fuel economy enthusiasts, dare I say professionals, on quite the ride. I’ve even landed one or two jobs as a fuel analyst for large trucking companies, helping shave millions of dollars off the annual fuel bill. My current employer is Van Kam Freightways in Surrey, BC.

Beyond this, we’ve had $150 per barrel oil prices, near collapse of some automotive companies, and a mad race towards electric cars. North America had high hopes for new diesel models, but we’re still waiting. Presidents and almost-Presidents have made their mark on the world too, conveniently or, well, you know…

So really, where does this leave us in 2009 and beyond?

In the coming month, I’m going to share my experiences and thoughts here at 100mpg.ca and onehundredmpg.com.
