Hi! and Welcome to GreenHybrid.

First, make use of the Web and read all the info about driving techniques here at GreenHybrid. There are quite a few Civic hypermilers here that are always willing to help.

Next, get used to your new car and the instrumentation. The instantaneous mpg readout will become very important to improving your mpg's. As the car breaks in and you are more familiar with it, your fuel economy will pick up.

Pump up the pressure in your tires as high as you feel OK about (ride comfort & safety).

Slow down your pace a little. Allow a little extra time to get to your destination.

These are just the first basic steps, as you read more, there are many more tips and advanced driving techniques to use.

And post your MPG in the database, it's a good progress indicator.

regards,
