Let's put it this way. Compared to me... Chris is in the Boston Area.

We have a few CR-Z's around this area - I would love to play with one. Tempted to 'shop around' and 'test drive' one from a dealer sometime |

Don't worry about the stereo. AC has a pretty significant impact on fuel economy, but stereo is practically nil unless it's cranked up and sucking 200W from your car's electrical system.
There are a few purists here who eschew their radio (probably more to limit distraction than to reduce energy consumption), but the savings are absolutely miniscule unless it takes you mind off the task. Enjoy your tunes. |

I'm among those who don't use the radio. You're exactly right, it's about the distraction, not the power draw. If I would settle for "great" mileage I would use it. I love my music. I'm just too stubborn to settle for anything less than the best possible.

Re: Honda Is Entrusting CleanMPG With the 6-speed CR-Z For A Week :D
Yup , it's the distraction. But I would sometimes welcome music on long highway trips , something we don't do much of these days. But then , even at 55 mph, road noise in the Civic (and a weak factory stereo) takes a lot of joy out of it.
I get most of my music fix from the home theater system. Quiet,comfortable,no distractions.
