Same here, I get about 35 mpusg of easy driving, in the city (with very
little traffic jams and occasional short sprints on inner city highway).
However, If I'm hard on the accelerator my city mpg will go down to 30 mpg
(US).

My absolute best mileage was 44 mpg on the 1 lane hwy (Toronto to Walkerton
and back) while averaging about 55 mph.

In a recent comparison test, an 05 Civic Coupe was able to obtain 49.6 mpg
If a regular gas engine can achieve these lofty figures on their own, the
added benefit from a Hybrid's electric motor seems insignificant in
comparison.

Interesting to hear all this about hybrids.

I've averaged  35 mpusg (42 mi/imp gal) over the past 5 fill ups for
city driving ....1983 Civic FE

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.
