Here's what JABYLUES is asking: Is it possible to drive like a normal person and get EPA mileage?

So far, no one has shown any evidence that you CAN get EPA by driving like a normal person.

What I say is that is must be kind of strange to ALL OF US that some people are getting mid 30s and others are getting low 60s with the SAME type of car.

I'm sorry, but no one has convinced me that the variances can be attributed solely to "driving style."

Personally, I definitely DO NOT DRIVE like a normal person - I use Hybrid tricks. I accelerate slowly from stops, drive slower than the speed limit when possible, coast in gear at every chance to charge the battery, use the A/C as little as possible, use low-friction synthetic oil, 38 PSI in the tires, and the best I have seen for a full tank is 40.6 MPG. No one can fault my driving style, because I am almost GRANNY out there !!! If there are people driving less aggressively than I am, you are a DANGER to the other drivers on the road !!

I can guarantee you that no one else driving this car on MY commute in these conditions could get 62 MPG in MY HCH......

(ain't debate fun?)
