Default New EPA Ratings

Has anyone seen this yet?

These are the new ratings for the HAH. 25 city/33 highway and 28 combined is a lot more realistic in this car. I generally see 27/35 and 31, though. I've gotten as low as 22 city and as high as 45 highway.

25/33 does sound more realistic for city mpg but a little low for highway. I have gotten as low as 18.2 with all city driving when daytime temperature barely made it into teens here in Colorado I recently went on my first road trip in HAH and it exceeded 35 mpg on all highway driving routinely. One 150 mile section even showed 42 mpg on the display. I have been seeing about 22 mpg in the city when it has not been bitterly cold but still all winter driving. It should get closer to 25, I suspect, once engine breaks in.

I think I'm learning that if I REALLY pay attention in town I can make a big difference, tempting 30 and getting near 40 on the highway. But it takes constant attention in town, including as much FAS as possible. It's probably not worth the trouble, but I'm addicted.
