Re: Honda Civic Hybrid vs. Toyota Prius
I always get way more than the EPA estimated mpg. If you drive like you care you can get great mpg. A few hypermilers push the limits and add 50 lbs of air to the tires as well as drive very fast then let the car coast and slow down. That doesn't seem safe and smart.
I drive at the speed limit of below by just a few mpg.
I keep the air in the tires at spec.
Most important I let up just a tiny bit after I reach speed and the mpg jumps to double or more. It's called being aware of the vehicle and CVT transmission. You no longer drive like you have an egg under your foot but drive smarter.
Also keep air conditioning on low fan speed and temps of higher yet comfortable. Not like some who alwys have it full blast and on 50 degrees.
Also no fancy big rims and wide tires, they are losers.
