My experience with a Honda Civic hybrid

There have been low mileage Hybrid posters in the past, and I asked some
pointed technical questions trying to narrow down a vehicle defect, and I
don't think I've seen much response.

Maybe someone is looking for commiseration, not help.

There was a fairly long thread that didn't have a resolution posted
http://makeashorterlink.com/?D299522E
post #18 has a few troubleshooting questions geared for someone who used to
get better mileage.

I'm not sure where to start with someone who has never gotten good mileage.

I think the most likely culprit is staying with a high speed flow of
traffic, instead of cruising. The "average" mileage display, reset on the
freeway, should be right around 50mpg at 65-70 mph cruise.

 

its not a "scam"- the technology is real and it works. but it works best
in stop and go city traffic.

but for people already used to small cars with good economy, it probably
isnt worth trading in.
