Well here is the Picture of my 1st drive to work this morning with the HAH (Honda Accord Hybrid). No tricks just drove it in ECO-Mode (Economy-Mode)as much as possible. No Fast Starts or Passing others. Timed lights Etc. This was driving in the City not Interstate. Speeds ranged from 30-50-65 MPH and that was on a Interstate on Ramp for Approx. 1/4 Mile. So stop lights, stop signs, driving up and down hills , traffic etc.
The one thing I found out very quick is that you have to keep it in the ECO-MODE as much as possible. If not and you are on all 6-Cylinders FE will drop. Have not acted silly yet in it. Was more interested to see if I could beat the "City-EPA" rating of 28 MPG. The HVAC was set to Auto and temp. was set at 75 Degrees.
This Hybrid is so quiet that you just would not believe it. :) It feels like it would just JUMP away from a Stop if you even thought about giving it the (Full-Throttle). ;)
Will check Tire Pressure in morning. Have not yet, FORGOT-Was-TIRED :(
Will adjust accordingly. HAH is EPA Rated at on Window Sticker at 28 MPG City:
