    no packages

    Been hypermiling in an '06 (non-hybrid) Civic for about 2 years. I'm REALLY looking forward many less dollars down the tank.

    I'm gonna take it out again later, after dark. I haven't been this excited about a car in decades!

    yea, that was the "gotcha"
    $3500

    Retraining my foot to this gas pedal is interesting.

    Im diggin the dash at night. Usually I have to dim things way down, not here though. The little spot light on the shift knob is a nice touch, alway just enough light to read something w/o having to turn on the the interior lights.

    I plugged my phone into the AUX jack and BOOM, internet radio. Its not XM but it's free and beats the radio.

    My Nuvi loves the mostly flat dash. But I had to move the seat up to reach it, no biggie. I noticed that the drivers seat goes back farther than any car I have ever driven.

    Yea and I'm already competing with myself for best MPG.
