This photo demonstrates that Toyota doesn't have a lock on making cars that get over 50 mpg.
This is a 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid that has about 3,200 miles on it. This photo was taken within a mile of our home as we were returning from Popham Beach Sabbath afternoon.
I commented as we were headed to Popham that the gas milage was creeping upwards DESPITE there being 3 of us in the car. I was told - "Of course, we're going 'downhill' to sea level. It will drop on the way home."
Au contraire! It rose from about 52.2 mpg to 53.7 mpg as noted in this photo by the time we arrived home.
This photos has been printed out along with my first blog post and put inside a plastic sleeve to go with me to the 2nd Casco Bay Auto Show later this month where we will be showing this car.

Maybe the car comes with a built-in tailwind?
Ha! And the 2006 Civic Hybrid that is due out this fall will get even better gas milage - routinely better than a Prius. Ours does this well only if I am driving very conservatively, to be sure.
