Replying to: smrekar (Jan 16, 2007 3:57 pm) If your not accelerating fast or slamming on your brakes, then your doing the "women style driving" which is this. Driving down the road and the person in front of you is making a right turn - now men go around w/o slowing down, for women they slow down and then speed right back up after the person has completed the turn, doing this w/o changing lanes. That is why men get better gas mileage then women on average. So maybe you will want to change you're driving habits. Replies to this message: tidester (Mar 20, 2007 12:56 am)

Some would even say that All generalizations are false.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

#10 of 11 Mileage and navigation by wvujeb Mar 26, 2007 (8:30 am)
The hybrid system doesn't work as well in the winter because the engine must stay warm. It will run until it hits 140F and will kick back on if it drops below 120F regardless of your speed. See if your mileage improves as the weather warms up.   The navigation system does use 6 CDs. The maps are broken into regions. If you need to travel a great distance, say NYC to Chicago, then you will need multiple CDs and will have to compute multiple routes. The navigation in the '06 and '07 is a POS.

Replying to: wvujeb (Mar 26, 2007 8:30 am) You can say that again! Still, a POS is better than no navigation at all.   Unfortunately, with the '08 switching to DVD navigation, I'd be surprised if we ever see an upgrade in the CD navigation us '07 and earlier owners have.
