to real world MPG results.

Actually, the car belongs to a friend. Odometer reads just under 200,000 km. Recent highway trip of 300 km delivered 57 mi/imp gal or 47.5 mi/us gal or 5.0 litres/ 100 km. Transport Canda's rating on this car is 72 mi/imp gal or 60 mi/us gal or 3.9 litres/100 km

Have had the Civic Hybrid for 19 months. Normal city driving was
showing 32 mpg. Dealer inspected, could find nothing wrong, and
apparently seemed to think I ought to be satisfied, even tho they
advertise 48 mpg in town.

Received a recall on the car, and after talking to the dealer, it
apparently was a software fix for the computer - ahh I thought, maybe
that will help the pathetic gas mileage. Well, it's been a couple of
weeks now since the update and I am presently seeing 29 mpg.
