#1761 of 1765 by misterme Jul 01, 2008 (6:43 am)
Thank you roger1655.   It took two years of experimenting with what works to save fuel- and what doesn't, and applying every one of those to the unpractical extreme. I was able to do so because I worked off-hours, have a 50 mile commute and drove home at 2-3AM on nearly or completely abandoned roads. But still, my personal record is what it is.   My commute have changed since then to regular hours, and no longer able to reach those rediculous figures, but still able to maintain about 60MPG using all of these tips I posted in a safe, courtious manner (Tips near the page bottom):   mickeyrom, "Honda Civic Hybrid MPG-Real World Numbers" #378, 12 Jun 2008 11:23 am   There are some well known tips there, as well as some not so common. A lot for someone to remember, but becomes 2nd hand if made routine. For more hypermiling info, some other good sites are: www.gassavers.org www.cleanmpg.com   -Steve
#1762 of 1765 navigation system ? by licarshopper Apr 20, 2009 (4:15 am)
hey I am thinking of buying Civic.. I am just wondering does the navigation system get traffic updates? Since I am buying this car for long commutes, it would be nice. Replies to this message: roger1655 (Apr 20, 2009 5:24 am)

Replying to: licarshopper (Apr 20, 2009 4:15 am) I've had my Civic for almost 1 year and I don't see any option to view traffic information on the Nav. I think you can get traffic info via the XM radio and that may work for you.
#1764 of 1765 Milage on long trips by steve_douglass May 20, 2009 (6:26 pm)
Last September I drove to the east San Francisco Bay Area, from the Seattle area on Highway 5. That includes the pass over the mountains in Southern Oregon. I drove mostly 60 mph, but dropped to 40 in the truck lanes going over the mountains. Moderately warm weather, which helps mileage, did not use AC. Got an indicated 53 mpg. These mileage calculators should be mandatory on all new cars. The more I drive with it, the better I get.
#1765 of 1765 Hybrid better than regular EX by texastownhall May 28, 2009 (1:36 pm)
I want to get back to Civic. I was thinking about LX actually but to compare the Hybrid, I want to compare to the EX.   Yes. Hybrid are better at gas savings than then regular but it cost more.   So what is a benefit of hybrid, and what would one be sacrificing for driving hybrid?   Power? Handling? Whining noise? Reliability? Maintenance cost?
