Hi All:

___The title of this thread could wake up the dead

___I do not really care if someone says BS or not because there isn’t a hypermiler here that hasn’t performed some amazing things in a hybrid and non-hybrid alike. In Tom’s, I thought an overall acceleration of 40 mpg was actually low. If there is no one behind, start off in the 30 + range and by ~ 20 miles per hour on up, you should be seeing the instantaneous in the 60 - 65 mpg range. At a slightly accelerating cruise above 47 miles per hour, you may see the instantaneous sitting in the 80 mpg range all the while accelerating slow enough to keep it there if possible?

___If someone is behind, maybe you jumped too soon or traffic conditions simply will not allow. If they won’t, get her up to speed and get into her lean burn at your earliest opportunity.

___I hate assist, I detest assist, I loathe assist … So what do you think I feel about assist It should only be invoked like a turbocharger but Honda screwed the pooch with their algorithm imho

___Good Luck
