Simon from The Nelson Mail has some news for us!

Local Nelson Mail advertising rep Simon Adlington came in on Thursday to do the Prius Challenge. He quite fancied the thought of using the Prius C for a week.
We challenged him to show us just how green he was and he came prepared and ready to go!

For someone that has never driven a hybrid car before Simon jumped right into it and pulled off a great score!

The Prius Challenge is really heating up. Given that Simon posted a 3.7L/100km and that there is only 2cents difference in savings between place 4 and place 9, the competition is now very close.
What this means is that anyone can jump straight into one of these cars and get amazing fuel economy from the get go!
