Getting around 47 mpg so far
Haven't posted much since I joined but I've become obsessed with mileage 
So far, I'm getting between 45 & 54 mpg on a 27 mile rush hour commute on the interstate. I've played with surface streets and, at least while school is in session, I_485 here in Charlotte has some decently spaced hills for gliding
Haven't had a tank average less than 45 mpg and think it's going to go up this summer. Still waiting for the first oil change, all I've done is raise the tire PSI to the max specified.

The faster you enter that into the site the easier it will be with all the graphs you can get.
I entered a year and a half of data in under a half hour so it won't take you long.
Looks like you'll be competing with Fr. John. He's got an 08 Civic hybrid as well. His first week was 46 MPGish, and now I believe he reported some 60's at the last go around, not even a month later.

Re: Getting around 47 mpg so far
The Surgeon General recently warned that hypermiling is addictive.
