I just bought a 2004 Civic Hybrid. I don't understand what all the fuss is about. According to the MPG display on my car, the average so far on the current tank of gas for about 250 miles of driving is 50.3 MPG. The average since I bought the car (~450 miles) is 48.3 MPG. These people that are complaining... how are they measuring their fuel economy? Could it be that the MPG display is inaccurate and you need to look at the amount that the pump at the gas station says and divide that by your trip odometer? Also, how are these people driving? I don't floor my gas pedal, I drive 20% city / 80 % hwy and I typically drive 55 MPH. Overall, I am very pleased with my new Honda civic, although I haven't had it for more than 3 weeks.
