Hi Memory-minus:

___Welcome indeed. Now that you have joined the hybrid family, I hope you can learn much from the many Hybrid drivers that came before as well as the game gauge you will be watching over the next 200 + thousand miles

___On a quite different note … Did the Honda dealership give you a decent deal on the HCH as well as offer you a decent $ on your TDI Trade? Your Diesel supposedly holds its own rather well in the used car market given the scarcity so I am just curious what you received and how it was equipped? Secondly, it sounds like you are a disappointed VW owner? I wouldn’t own one myself but my parents wanted a New Beetle (non-diesel) last year so I went and picked one up for them. Now that it is broken in, they just like it. Not love it, just like it.

___Lastly, don’t forget to insert your tank over tank fuel and fuel economy data in the Real Hybrid Mileage Database as you fuel up over those next 200,000 + miles.

___Good Luck
