I just picked up my HCH II on Monday nite on 4/10 and have already put over 650 miles on it in 4 days. My daily commute is between 150 to 170 miles per day - which is why I traded in my SUV for it. I went from 18 mpg to over 41 mpg on my first tank - I'm actually at 43 mpg on my second tank.

I've been reading some confliciting info on the "EV mode" on a 06 Civic Hybrid as far as what speeds it will enter the mode.

Anyway, I think I've been able to enter EV mode in speeds as high almost 50 miles per hour. What I think is the EV mode is when the MPG dial on hits 100 and the Assist "gauge" has 1 to 3 bars. Is that right or am I completely off the mark?

I really miss driving my SUV, as well as my full size pick up - this is my first car in the last 6 years (been driving SUV's and pick ups) - but with gas approach $3/gallon I am glad I made the switch. I have been very impressed with how well it works at highway speeds (I can cruise at 80 miles per hour+ just like my old SUV).
