... "Participation in this year's Tour de Sol, America's number-one green car show and competition, is available to more people than ever before thanks to a new competition and new start sites around the country. The Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA), organizer of the Tour de Sol, invites anyone who drives a hybrid or flex-fuel ethanol vehicle, or uses biodiesel in their diesel car or truck, to join the Monte Carlo-style Rally and the new Fuel Efficiency Competition. 
Entrants will drive to Saratoga Spa State Park, New York to arrive by Saturday, May 13. There, as part of the 18th annual Tour de Sol and the Saratoga Automobile Museum's Auto Show, they will join dozens of other advanced vehicle owners, students competing with one-of-a-kind vehicles, and auto companies exhibiting their latest hybrid, CNG, biofuel, and hydrogen vehicles. The Monte Carlo-style rally rewards miles per gallon, not miles per hour. Trophies are given to those who participate in the Drive-In Rally. Cash prizes and trophies are offered to hybrid and modified hybrid drivers who participate in the 200-mile drive from the Saratoga Spa State Park to Cooperstown, NY and back on the Friday, May 12 and demonstrate the highest fuel efficiencies that are at least 40% greater than EPA estimates for their vehicle.
