From what I could see, there was 1 or 2 ticks next to Zero!

I would guess it would drop to probably 25 MPG-remember the car still uses little gas and the CVT is efficient...

I remember driving a Chevy Blazer (which incidentally we just bought a Trailblazer as our other car) to Las Vegas from LA and hitting 95 the whole way. I think I only needed to fill up in Barstow and Vegas with a 20 Gallon tank so I can't see the Hybrid getting too bad mileage at that speed...

ABSOLUTELY!

The oil will be at about 50-60% life so the engine is pretty primed.

Honda engines are designed to run at very high RPM for long periods of time. That is why VTEC is so successful.

Re: HIT 100 TODAY!!!

Be safe going that fast you crazy cats...

I do believe our cars cut out at 112 mph... this is bad for any gas engine due to lean/detonation conditions (caused one of my previous hondas to blow)...

And when i say i believe... this is in reference to page 168 of our owners manual

Be safe and be careful in all aspects of going fast guys
