I've had my 2004 HCH CVT AT-PZEV (clean state) HCH1 since April 2004.
I have 36 tanks with an average of 60.1 MPG.
This is second place in greenhybrid's database for this car.
(A deep bow to Hot Georgia - a most worthy competitor but quite frankly I am getting tired of looking at your butt.)
They say that unless you are the leader of the pack the view never changes.
My worst tank was 51.7.
My best tank was 66.6 MPG.
Yesterday I ordered a Mag Pearl 2006 HCH without Nav.
Delivery is expected March or April.
I may change my mind and get the Nav though.
I'm also considering getting XM.
I think I am going to sell my 04, or it may be passed over to a family member who could use a nicer car.
KBB.com says it is worth $20,000 even with 20,000+ miles - I paid $19,300, $2000 under MSRP before gas prices shot up .
I have never before seen an appreciating car.
It will be interesting to see the MPG I am able to get with the HCH2.
I have been driving the same commute for 20 months so I have a lot of data.
This makes for a very reliable comparison.
I have pretty much optimized my MPG on this route.
Will you put your HCH II in the correct category, or stay in the HCH I category and force H_Georgia to forgo AC forever to stay on your tail ?
I thought this was rather clearly said tonge in cheek, but some of the later responses make me wonder.
The original post was tongue in cheek.
