Thumbs up Re: Got 44mpg at 80 miles per hour over mountains

I think it is really quite interesting to see what these cars do under different driving conditions and (Speeds). At 44 MPG and 78-80 miles per hour to me is , well like (GREAT) I think. It just goes to show you that even without just babying the car all the time to get FE. I think (IMO) Honda has gotten their game plan together on this vehicle and it does do very well in the FE even when driven at higher speeds than say the 55-65 miles per hour range. You know I think sometimes we or alot of us especially here on GreenHybrid forget that Honda really made these cars to drive at all different speeds and conditions and not always to (poke) around in. It goes without saying if you want Maxium FE then you have to drive at a much slower speed and like wise for easy take offs and stops etc. , I just like to see that when these vehicles are driven like the majority of vehicles out there are driven that they still do remarkably well.

Very-Interesting,

Terry
