Can "YOU" believe these "NUMBERS" ????? It just keeps getting BETTER !!!!!
 

Hi,

Man this Accord Hybrid just keeps getting "Better & Better". I just cannot stand it. https://greenhybrid.com/discuss/image...ikons/wink.gif

Just did a very-very long days drive to visit Family in Frankfort, Ky. and that trip was driven from speeds of 65-75 miles per hour on the interstate. We went through Wendy's drive up and then sat in the car and ate lunch with the motor idling. I know if you were one of the Hypermilers you would be going "Crazy-about-Now". But then we drove all over the place and let my Brother which has never seen or been in a Accord Hybrid before today drive it. He did not even notice that when he was coming to the stops that the engine was not running. https://greenhybrid.com/discuss/image...ikons/wink.gif I said hey look at the Tach. !!! He said it says "ZERO", I said yeah the engine is not running until you take your foot off the brake pedal. He said this is high tech, isn't it ??? I said yeah and if you look to the bottom left it says in "Flashing-Green" Auto-Stop. He said I like this car, you cannot even tell when it starts and quits running. Love that Brother. https://greenhybrid.com/discuss/image...kons/teeth.gif

Well that is the story on todays travels with the Accord Hybrid and here are some Pics of the days events from the Trip Computer.

Lemme guess ? To add insult to injury : you had the A/C on while you ate your drive thru meal ? :p

Hi Terry,,,, Looks like the Sonicmiling is going well indeed. :)

:D Yeah, you got me on that one, :thumbup: 93 Degrees and high humidity.

But hey, a man has to have his comfort. ;)

Terry
BTW, I guess this would not be the place then to mention the HIGH-SPEED PASSES at over 85-90 MPH. :rolleyes:

Hey Psy,

Nice to see a name here I recognize. Psy this is an "AWESOME-MACHINE" and the more I drive it I could kick myself for not going ahead and buying it sooner.

Very quiet on the road and the [POWER] is always just a push of the "GO-PEDAL" away. :thumbup:

Good to hear/read from (YOU). :D

Terry

It's not that I don't hear/read you, but I "HONESTLY" ONLY DO THIS FOR MYSELF.

When I have the time I try to drop by the Forums I am a Member on and post results, but it is far and and few between tanks.

Just do not have the time. On a lot of different types of Sites so it is just not possible.

Have a Nice-Day :thumbup:

Terry

*gasp* Jealousy raises it's fugly head ....:D

Hondas do alright, I drove a mid 90s accord that would do 35mpg on the hiway.

I know it goes against the FE goal...
 

I know it goes against the FE goal...

But there's a new black Civic Si 4-door in the neighborhood that tests the limits of temptation (yes, not the traditional "Si" -- but I think the best was the '99-'00 Coupe instead of hatch - I had a '99 and it was the best car I've owned). But, I don't have the need for it :)

Terry-
I haven't known anyone with the Accord Hybrid yet. High 30's are pretty good if you factor-in fun vs. FE. For me, I don't have an area to drive fast without getting busted anymore -- so what's the use? I ask myself. Consequently, my driving style has changed drastically over the last 2 years. I would really have to research emissions, cost vs. feature content, and "driving feel" before I would give up the 'Teg.

Best FE to ya!
