    Got my new 2010 II. Look at the owner's manual, p. 192. There is the Hybrid System Indicator display illustrated. On this illustration, #4, the Average Fuel Consumption figure is 23.5MPG!! Strange for a car known for its great MPG figure. And #5, Average Speed, is shown at 124 MPH!! Can someone explain this? (All this comes with reading the manual, and looking at the pictures.)

    Well, I suppose if your average speed is 124 MPH then your MPGs would suffer accordingly! ;) Sorry, I couldn't resist!

    That is indeed a strange set of numbers to include in the manual.
