Re: Is Something Wrong with My Hybrid?
In addition to what Jason has said, and i'm sure wayne [xcel] will post in later. I believe wayne has said that his accord runs very rich when cold, and if your comutes are short like mine (5-15 min) sometimes the engine never has a chance to heat up. Also many of the hybrid features (autostop comes to mind) are disabled until the car heats up...again leaving you 'sucking' down the gas. As jason said, i'd check your tire pressure and oil level first (and transmition if you have an auto) and maybe take it on an easy paced trip down the highway to let it stretch its legs and see if that helps anything (not every trip, just like once or twice to see if the milage stays real low). Good luck!
