Default I feel the need for speed

I am borrowing a Honda Accord for a week and I just got it today.

Wow! What a fun car!

I don't know how you Accord owners manage to get decent mileage in these cars. The power compared to any other hybrid is just too enticing! I know I could get better gas mileage... if I could just stay off the accelerator. Must....resist....

Seriously though, I look forward to seeing how it does mileage-wise this week. It's nice that it has 3 seperate trip meters. That way I can check segments of the drive, as well as overall.

Congratulations to anyone geting near EPA mileage. Especially if you show off your car to friends by demonstrating the amount of acceleration it has. Quick acceleration is an mpg killer!
