Default Re: Also low mileage on 2006

Juan,

I too drive the LA freeways each morning. My commute is 40 miles each way. I drive the 10 fwy. Westbound in the AM, Eastbound in the evenings. Mornings are at 5:30am and outbound is at 3:30pm.

My inbound trips in the mornings average 55mpg most mornings as it is slightly downhill for the overall trip. I usually make it home at the 48 to 49mpg mark.

Since our driving environment is so similiar, I am guessing something is not right with your car. Only a side-by-side test would confirm. This is my first hybrid so you should have an advantage over me in most cases.

Best of luck with your new HCH.
