#132 of 138 Re: 2006 HAH [redsoxfan6] by satswac Jun 08, 2007 (12:48 pm)
Replying to: redsoxfan6 (Jul 10, 2006 12:29 pm) I don't mean any of this as an insult to those of you who bought HAH and like them, but when I do the math, my used '04 Elantra (auto trans), that I bought with 27k mi for $10K gives me, worse case 32 mpg and best case (absolutely no lie) 36 mpg, I figured that for the cost of an HAH that averages 27-28 mpg...........it would take 10 years (with my driving distances of 20,000/year) before an HAH broke even with my Hyundai over-all costs. By-the-way, if the HAH is so good, why is Honda going to discontinue the Accord hybrid?

#134 of 138 HAH mileage by tazman4 Sep 07, 2007 (3:28 pm)
2005 HAH bought new, 37k on it, ex-Datsun racer from the '70's, so I really drive it - love the performance. 35 plus at steady 75, 26-29 commuting in the Minneapolis metro area. Like I said, it really goes, very comfy, decent handling (not as good as my S2000). I consider it a good buy, gas accord hwy mileage in town. If you wanted a Prius, you should have bought one.

A Forbes.com article on the least efficient hybrids and the dreaded "hybrid premium" are the subject of today's Alternate Route entry, Boon or Bane?
#136 of 138 100 miles per gallon? by mrhowell May 19, 2008 (5:50 pm)
Has anyone seen the blurb in the news on an Atlanta station about the 20-ish year old guy who tinkered with his Honda hybrid and added a few batteries he bought from WalMart and ended up getting 100+ mpg? Someone told me they saw it on an Atlanta station and he demonstrated how he did it. Can anyone help? I cannot seem to find it and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Many thanks!

Replying to: mattgg1 (Jun 23, 2006 8:13 am) Here it is 2 years later and we're in a big fuel crunch of $4 + a gallon. Well my comment to that question is to have the best of both worlds performance and economy. I can be green and still lay rubber. Actually bought this for the wife I drive a 06 GTO. In my opinion until the technology catches up this 05 HAH is awesome! Replies to this message: nowakj66 (Jul 27, 2008 10:19 am)

Replying to: phrodo99 (Jul 23, 2008 8:30 am) As a HAH 2005 owner I have to second the notion that as the gas prices rise, so does my appreciation for this car.   I've also noticed about a 10% boost in price they fetch on the used market.
