Re: Real Mileage
My experience has been similar to CGameProgrammer. I live in SD, drive 25 miles between home and work, half in stop and go traffic and half at freeway speeds.
The first year or so of my driving my HCH around town I averaged 42.7. That was going about 72 mph when I could, and before I got to use the carpool lanes, so lots more stop and go. And more driving "realistically" without squeezing every ounce of gas out of it.
(I now usually drive no faster than 70, mostly 68 mph and get to skip some traffic by using the carpool lanes... I've bumped my mpg to 46 in recent months.)
Good luck!
