That *is* great mileage - especially at the speeds you were uh, speeding. Anything over 60mph and drag starts drastically cutting into your economy.

We haven't had the opportunity to take our hybrid on a trip yet but around town we've been averaging 36mpg.

RE: the purposely optimistic odometers on Japanese cars. Only Honda reported a significant problem where the odometer records more miles than is actually experienced. This affects the warranty period primarily. Honda has promised a fix to get all their odometers recalibrated back to within 1% accuracy.

I suppose it won't be long before some type of GPS monitoring will track and report our miles for us.
