The Honda Accord Hybrid
The Accord hybrid is
faster than a conventional V6 Accord, and significantly more
fuel efficient. It was also awarded the 2005 Best Family Sedan
according to Consumer Reports
Delivering 255
horsepower, the Honda Accord Hybrid achieves an EPA
estimated 30 mpg in the city, and 37 mpg on the highway - about
a 43 percent increase over the standard V-6 vehicle.
The powerful Sedan
is loaded with premium comfort and safety features. In addition
to a leather Interior, the Honda Accord Hybrid offers a dual
zone climate control system, 8-way power seats, XM Satellite
radio, 6 cd disc player, plus a special rear deck lid spoiler
and specially designed alloy wheels.
Honda's 'Safety for
Everyone' package is an included hybrid feature that offers
driver and front passenger side airbags, first and second row
side curtain airbags, four wheel ABS and traction control.

Hybrid Testimonials / Rate My Accord hybrid
My Accord hybrid gets 17-18 mpg when my
driving consists only of inner city San
Francisco's stop and go traffic with lots of hills.
Local highway trips
yield 26-28mpg generally.
I usually get 37-39 mpg
on trips from San Francisco to Orange County (which is
past LA.) The drive is all highway, but often has some
mix of stop and go in the bay area and then the long
steep grade up and down the Grapevine.
I just bought a 2005 Accord Hybrid.
I have only driven in the city so far and am averaging
24 mpg.
After 16,000 miles, my
average mpg is 32 mpg city and highway. I have exceeded
40 mpg multiple times under ideal conditions on the
highway. I have achieved 38 mpg on local routes.
In order to achieve 40/38, an extremely light foot on
the accelerator is required. Allowing your speed to drop
as you go up hill and picking up speed as go down hill.
Also required is light traffic.
My wife says "you are driving like an old man"
when I am obtaining high mpg. On the downside, I have
experienced 25/32 mpg under normal conditions using a
heavy foot.
Conclusion, your driving habits and conditions will
dictate your miles per gallon.
