CORSA 2012: Economy Run and more

[John Egerton]

 I was not at the last meeting, so I don't know the dialogue that preceded 
the decision to drop the econo-run. For a true test of actual fuel economy, 
why not measure for fuel economy during the rally?  One course, one run, no 
extra time used, real driving conditions!  John Egerton
