When I first joined GH back in February the HCHII was hanging at 45 mpg in the COMPARE forum. Then it ticked up to 46. Somebody must have posted some new tanks, because today I notice it ticked up to 47 mpg (rounded up).

The PriusII is now a "mature" automobile, having gone through a couple of summers and winters. I wouldn't expect it's mileage average to change much, though I admit I haven't been watching it carefully. It's currently at 48 mpg (rounded up).

The HCHII, on the other hand, is just coming into its first summer, following lots of winter driving.

So, what do you think? Will the HCHII catch the PriusII, or will the Prius surge ahead? Do I dare ask if HCH has the potential to pass it?

Or, an alternate question if you're not in the mood for wagering; what do you think the potential for the HCHII is in the mileage database? The Prius?

i think the hch.ii will catch the prius. i don't think it will surpass.

i think the potential for the prius will stay right around where it is at 47.5mpg. i think the potential for the hch.ii will be right about the same as the prius, maybe a little less.
