I would like to thank everyone that put in advice on the mileage. I will say for the people on this forum treating their cars like handicapped or crippled things, you really need to revaluate yourself.

We talk about extremist all the time on the news and what problems come from such people. I think of the extremists that blow things up. Or the people that lead us to be searched at airports and cannot bring bottled water on planes anymore.

A Hybrid car is a normal car with a different type of propulsion system. It isn’t different than a CNG based car or an Ethanol based car.

Seeing that I drive my car normally, as in step on the brakes when I need to at the very last minute (allow my car to coast to the red light) or accelerate slowly as to not lead the pack. These methods were used with my previous cars and they always got the estimated MPG or better, including in my SUV.

I will let a few more tanks go by before I send it in to the dealer to check it out. Hondas do not provide loaner cars when you drop them off for service, so I need to calculate my cost into the rental.

Also, the comment on selling my car to buy a regular car, Sorry, I am not selling my Hybrid yet. I will keep it around for at least 3 years before I sell it. Although I didn't get rid of my 94 Civic until a truck ran over it... But time will tell.

Hopefully Honda will release a hybrid Edition of the CRV next.
