Live near you - East suburbs and bought HCH2 from Honda East. Gave me a good price - near invoice on last evening of the month.

At 72mph on freeway you will get down near 40mpg. Driving around town, you can get 45 pretty easy, 50-60 by paying attention.

I am getting over 60mpg on daily commute South of town (38 mi), but I drive the speed limit. Not going 72mph does add 15-20mpg.

Taking it up to Kalamazoo with family of 4 this weekend. Will get 50-55mpg even with AC on.

A Prius will do just as well for you FE wise. Larger TCH, FEH will still get you FE above 30 with more room. So will NON hybrid small engine (<2.0L) cars.
