Default Re: CNET says EX V6 had BETTER MPG than HCH!!! True??

You are I believe reporting about their review of the ACCORD HYBRID, which can be seen on this page:

The most surprising thing about the 2006 Accord Hybrid's performance is its relatively weak gas mileage. Despite what the EPA says--25mpg in the city and 34mpg on the highway--we observed an average of 23.5mpg in mixed metro driving. Not only is this far worse than the gas mileage for the 2007 Camry Hybrid (35mpg in the same conditions), but it is even lower than CNET's observed mileage for the gasoline-only 2006 Honda Accord EX, which got an overall reading of 24.9mpg on a trip down Southern California's notoriously congested I-5.
I'm still looking for their review of the 2006 HCH.
