Extolling the virtues of the Honda Civic Hybrid

As I mentioned previously, I have a sticker on my HCH-II with a simple message: 52mpg.  Yes, it's partially there for bragging rights, and partially there to help people understand just what kind of great mileage you can achieve with this car.

Well this weekend, someone actually pulled up beside me at a red light and started asking all sorts of questions about the car after seeing the sticker!  She was considering replacing her minivan with an HCH-II or a Prius.  She told me she preferred the non-spaceship look of the HCH-II over the Prius (I agree).  She was also fairly tall, 6ft, and asked how the headroom was.  Being 6'1" myself, I was happy to tell her I had plenty of headroom.  I can't say enough good things about this car, and it's great to get an opportunity to tell a perfect stranger how much I like it too!

Interestingly, on my current tank, I'm 563 miles into the tank at 55.2mpg!  Looks like I'm going to have to get a new sticker!  I'm hoping this is my first 600 mile tank, so keep your fingers crossed.
