New to me 2006 Civic Hybrid
 
I recently purchased a 2006 Civic Hybrid w/ about 170,000 km on it. And since this is my first Hybrid I have a few questions.

1. When I drive on the Highway doing 100 km/h (62 mph) my Fuel Economy stays right around the 6 L/100 km range - Is this normal?

2 Same as the last question, but my Tach stays around 2000 - 2500 rpm - Is this normal?

3. Is there any way to test the IMA system to see if it is going to fail, or if it is dying? The reason for this is I just got 6.31 L/100 km (37.3 mpg) on my last tank and I think I should be getting better than that.

4. What is the tank size for the Canadian model? I found somewhere that said that it was 46.6 L, but last night I was driving home and I ran out of bars on the fuel meter. And when I filled up I only put 39 L, so where is the extra tank capacity? I drive a mix of Highway and City in Southern Alberta (hills).

Sorry if some of these questions are Noob questions, but thanks in advance for all of your answers.

Everything sounds about bang on, I average 5.4 ltr per 100 but have noticed as it has aged it is creeping up to the #'s you are getting. Same RPM and I very seldom get 40 ltrs. in the tank. My car has 112,000 kilometers on it. I do not expect the pack to last many more years, Honda's pack has been a week point other-wise I really like the car.H
