I've had the Hybrid for nearly 2 months and the car has about 890 miles on it. I've filled the tank 3 times, and, for the most recent tank, have tried to keep the "Econ" light on as much as possible by driving fairly conservatively. My most recent fill-up showed an average MPG of 22.37, after 230 miles. This is my best MPG to date. I drive mostly in the city/suburbs, with perhaps 20-40% of my miles occurring in highway driving. Highway driving in this context consists of 5-10 mile trips on the Massachusetts Turnpike (50-55 MPH), or 6-10 mile trips on Route 9 (40-50 MPH) in eastern Massachusetts. Route 9 is a state highway with a fair number of traffic lights.

Replying to: alpaccord (Jun 18, 2005 3:18 pm) Ouch! That is about what I get with my 2003 CR-V for city driving... But of course I wouldn't want to meet the HAH on a drag strip! |

Replying to: greenisgood (Jun 19, 2005 2:16 pm) Started out at about 26mpg, in 0F. temps on a tight engine. I now get 33-34mpg, and on the highway, 42+ with regularity (I've run out of road before maxing out on the trip odo's mpg meter). My lifetime mpg is 31.9 and climbing w/ each new tank. My best trip has been 45.9 mpg (33mi, all secondary highway) In experienced hands, and given a long enough distance, the car *will* do 50+ mpg on the highway. I loaned it to an experienced hybrid owner for a week, and he managed to get 58-60mpg with it (under perfect conditions). And yes, we took pictures of the Navi's trip computer applet screens for verification. I can post them, for anyone who wants to see (or, you can go to a certain 'green' website, that displays 'hybrid' owners' mileage, and 'com'pare it over there). It *does* take work to get the best mileage out of the car. But it can be done. The longer you drive, with fewer stops, the easier it is to get the top mileage out of this car. Mine suffers so much because my commuter loop is only secondary highway, with lots of stop-n-go. YMMV

Replying to: alpaccord (Jun 20, 2005 6:52 pm) That being said, why not google the terms I enclosed in tick marks ? Then look at the first match. When you get there, look at the 'real mileage database', then at the Accord section, and you'll see my car and a few others there

In my second week in my HAH, I am getting 35 mpg with 70% highway, 30% city streets. I do push down the accelerator hard when needed. cal_cal

I am currently researching buying the new HAH instead of the Audi A6. I like the fact that as well as being a hybrid that it has a 6 cylinder engine and comes with the navigation system as an option. My question is to anybody who consistently drives 75-80mph on the highways. How greatly is the MPG affected by traveling at higher speeds? I understand that the faster you drive the lower the MPG, but I do 80% highway miles and if the MPG is below 20 than I may opt for the Audi. Chuck |
