I just bought one last week (plain EX) and I'm not too happy, either.
I filled it up and then drove about 120 miles over the weekend, and
then topped it off to get a quick average. It was all city driving
and a lot of hot-weather idling, but the 11.8 mpg average was not too
good to see. I better get at least 15 in the city!

Or paying thousands more for a hybrid vehicle, than a
similarly equipped standard vehicle, then claming to be
'saving' money because it get more fuel mileage. LOL

Actually, I never quite expected to quite recover the hybrid
premium. However, at current high gas prices it looks like I
will. and even go some way to paying for the extras I probably
would not have paid for in a standard Civic.
