I own a 2006 Accord hybrid and a 2006 Accord EX-V6 6MT. My wife and I both drive these cars and we switch cars all the time. I got hybrid in October, so with break-in period and cold temperatures, I have not seen high mpg on it yet. In any case during the same period driven under same temperature conditions (and almost all city driving), my EX-V6 has been averaging about 18 mpg while the hybrid has been averaging 23 mpg. So I am seeing some benfit from hybrid.
