Actually, I'm quite surprised. The best I've ever done in the summer is 64.5 on the dash, so I don't know why this one is so high.

I filled up at the BP I usually go to, and right from the start, this one was different...a little more pep from the spark, so not as much gas needed to maintain speed. This is a good 6 mpg better than anything I've ever seen. Wish I could say I stumbled on to something, but I'm afraid I haven't done a thing.

BTW, I have 37K on the car....

I should hit 4,000 on my way home today..

I let my wife use it ONCE...lol don't know what she did to get lousy milage then the other day my son asked "dad can I use your car to go to the store? I just gave him THE LOOK and then told me but yours gets really great milage. I told him yep but not if you drive it. He and his friend laughed and then said you are probably right. He then took his car to the store.

That's pretty neat that your son wanted to drive it. He could spread the word... and help get us teens out of the SUV fad

my son and his friends really love the car... they see the mileage and say "wish mine got that"

Well I would have but he just wanted to save his gas..lol That and he likes trucks so he's been looking at them. I try and tell him to get a small car, maybe time will tell.

64) You support hybrid so much, people think you are trying to convince them to buy one

Flare,
I have had that happen to me. People are certain I must be getting a percentage of sales or something.

64. When you silently roll up to the drive-through window, and think "that's cool!"

65. When you silently roll away from the drive-through window, and still think "that's cool!"

66) You get a sick 'thrill' out of creeping up behind people in "Stealth Mode" in parking lots and watching the startled look on thier face when they notice you!

67) When you carry on casual conversation using terms like ICE, CVT, Stealth, EV, HV battery, and Synergy.

68) You check your tire pressure as often as you brush your teeth.

69) When getting an actual "key" out to drive another car is too much trouble.

70) When you think something's wrong when the engine doesn't shut off at a stop light in a 'regular' car

71) You maintain both a printed and a stored Excel spreadsheet of you mileage and proudly display it to any poor soul unfortunate enough to ask "How do you like your hybrid".

This is a kick....Jason, PLEASE summarize this thread somewhere and archive it in a printable format on the site. It's too much fun.
