Default Re: Just checkin in...

Hey there Tucson,
I picked up a 05' accord hybrid 2 weeks ago with only 20,000 miles on it. I was getting 39 mpg going to work and 34 coming home due to winds very consistently(50 mile trek, half hwy and half city). I filled my tires from 32psi to 35psi and am getting 42/37 respectively. It really helped with the 3psi extra. These mpg's are with my a/c set to 68 degrees. The key is Eco mode as much as possible and timing lights and traffic with rpm's below 2 grand as much as possible. The thing is you can still drive this car aggressivley and get 4 cylinder mpg's. I'm "extremely" happy with this car...luxury, power "and" economy....My first Honda and it won't be my last

Nicholas
