For the Hondas, the main difference is the cold engine.* Owners have discovered that if they cover the radiators with cardboard, and trap the heat, they'll get summer-like MPGs.

What owners? How can you trap the radiator heat and keep the engine warm enough on a cold night to get "summer-like MPGs?

Owners at insightcental or honda-hybrid. The cardboard blocks the air & prevents it from cooling the engine while driving. That enables longer lean-burn.

Even if you DO trap the engine heat, you have only addressed ONE of the many issues

I'm aware of the other issues but "For the Hondas, the ***MAIN*** difference is the cold engine."
