Hi noflash,

Congratulations! I know just how you have felt with those winter time numbers.

Bought my 2006 HCH-II in Oct. 2006 and live through the cold Northeast winters.
My best tank was my last one which matched yours.

Last week I had a doctor's appointment about 6 miles away and was shocked to get
a reading of 80mpg as I pulled into his parking lot. The round trip came in at 63mpg.
This meant I got a "respectable" 46mpg on the way home. This was my best round trip
ever, although for a very short distance. I would estimate the elevation difference was
in the neighborhood of 250ft. The temperature was about 77 Deg. F.

My current tank is 49mpg and still trying to break 50mpg.

Keep up the good work.

Just checked Google and the actual elevation difference is about 285ft.
