Which is the reason that I bought a hybrid car.
With the return of warmer weather and lower RVP fuel, I've had my last two tank averages exceed my personal Holy Grail of 50+ mpg.
665 miles on 13.1 gallons for the first and 661 miles on 12.4 gallons for the second.
The best I'd ever see before was 40 mpg+ with one of our old Civic Wagons under similar warmish mornings with warm afternoons and minimal need for A/C.
Our Gen 5,6 and 8 Accords would approach 35 mpg under similar conditions.
The Accord Hybrid has really pleased me in the 12.5K miles I've driven it to date.
I wonder why hybrids aren't the basic standard for all cars?
Maybe that'll happen when fuel prices next spike?
