Help Me Caption This Image – Win a $50 Gas Card (CLOSED)
THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED… WINNER TO BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY
I’m constantly looking for ways to quickly and succinctly describe the goals and objectives of FuelClinic to people who are not yet familiar with our concepts.
I’ve had an idea for a few months kicking around in the back of my mind for a graphic that shows a schematic-like “common” car illustration with a “smart” or “green” driver behind the wheel. I’ve managed to kludge together a quick mock-up, that roughly illustrates my idea:
Now I need help with the caption… I struggled with a few like the one you see above, as well as others like ”Key To Efficient Driving Exists Between the Seat and Steering Wheel” … you get the idea, but I think we can do better.
So, I’m asking you to submit your suggestions for a great caption to this illustration - one that is creative, catchy and most clearly describes the positive effect of improved driving habits in helping create safer, smarter, more efficient drivers.
Add your suggestions in the comments section of this post. Use your real email address so we can track back to you if your caption is selected. I along with a small group of judges will choose a winner from the suggestions we get. I will send a $50 gas card to the person who submits the winning caption for this illustration and your caption will be used in the final version of this image on our website and in some marketing material.
UPDATE: We will be picking a winner from all entries on Wednesday, December 2, 2009 — winner to be announced on Monday, December 7, 2009

How about a reversal of the above – “THE KEY TO BETTER FUEL MILEAGE IS YOU!”
Highlight the “YOU” with the same green color.
Want Better MPG’s? You’re In The Driver’s Seat.
Not bad… I like both. Some other thoughts I was having revolved around “Better MPGs Through Driver Education” – or – “Instantly Upgrade Your Car’s Fuel Efficiency”…
Should the guy be “Blue” – is “Green” getting over exposed?

“Be Cool and Save Fuel”
“Drive Green Keep Your Air Clean”
Place brain in gear before you press the gas pedal.
When I saw the green person in the SUV I right away thought that was a counter-productive image. Our big gas guzzling over-sized vehicles, usually with one or two people riding in them, have helped cause the problem and even though some are getting better mileage now – they do not compare to a smaller, lighter car. Why not a green person in a regular sized car?

I’m imagining the word DRIVE followed by the word LEAN superimposed over the word GREEN. I’m the farthest thing from a digital artist, but hopefully this should convey the idea:

“Be The Key to M.P.G.”
I suggest this as my Nissan Cube is rated at 30 mpg highway. By utilizing suggested techniques my last two tankfuls have been over 32 mpg in mixed driving. And this in a vehicle with the aerodynamics of a brick.
Greg – excellent news… I think with some of our more advanced teaching materials in development, we might be able to squeeze a few more MPG from that Cube. :)
As a footnote, I should have mentioned that I live in Florida and all our fuel has 10% ethanol which makes it even more difficult to achieve stellar numbers. Thanks for the encouraging news on further possible enhancements.
The air is clean when you go green.
