Re: Civic Hybrid Mileage
Our Accord hybrid gets about 27 mpg in my wife's mostly stop and a little go
commute to work. Since they are not selling well you can get a healthy
discount on one. Plus the tax rebate. On a 300M she used to get 20 mpg.

That is a pretty good improvement over the stock V-6 Accord. Ours gets
around 20 mpg in that sort of driving.
Honda missed the boat on the hybrid Accord. They should have gone more
maximum fuel economy by mating it with a small 4 cylinder engine instead
of going for very high performance.

I think the real sad part is that now there is prejudice that a
performance hybrid is a bad idea. I think a hybrid boost to a Civic
Si could be a real improvement - a much better match than the V6.
