1st Drive to work with HAH and FE Pic.
Well here is the Picture of my 1st drive to work this morning with the HAH (Honda Accord Hybrid). No tricks just drove it in ECO-Mode (Economy-Mode)as much as possible. No Fast Starts or Passing others. Timed lights Etc. This was driving in the City not Interstate. Speeds ranged from 30-50-65 MPH and that was on a Interstate on Ramp for Approx. 1/4 Mile. So stop lights, stop signs, driving up and down hills , traffic etc.
The one thing I found out very quick is that you have to keep it in the ECO-MODE as much as possible. If not and you are on all 6-Cylinders FE will drop. Have not acted silly yet in it. Was more interested to see if I could beat the "City-EPA" rating of 28 MPG . The HVAC was set to Auto and temp. was set at 75 Degrees.
This Hybrid is so quiet that you just would not believe it.
It feels like it would just JUMP away from a Stop if you even thought about giving it the (Full-Throttle). 
Will check Tire Pressure in morning. Have not yet, FORGOT-Was-TIRED
Will adjust accordingly. HAH is EPA Rated at on Window Sticker at 28 MPG City:
