5-Hybrid-Yoga
I'm sure this sight in normal in California, but this is a huge step for Omaha, Nebraska.
I dropped my wife off to teach a yoga class tonight and out of a dozen cars out front, 5 were hybrids! 3 Prius IIs, an HCH I, and our HCH II.
I had to smile!

What part of NE are you in? I'm in Papillion.

I've noticed that, too! At the Whole Foods near me, there is ALWAYS at least one Prius in the lot, usually more, and, if I'm there, my little HCH. I guess there are some obvious reasons why there would be that kind of overlap- lifestyle choices line up in some ways.

I live in mid-town Omaha. We'll have to have a meet sometime. I have been seeing more and more hybrids in and around town.
I just put my snow tires on last night -- hope it wasn't for nothing!
EDIT: BTW, great mileage! I got mine in August and, unfortunately, the engine seemed to break-in just as the temp turned south. Looks like I will have to wait until Spring to get my average up. I see your last tank was 41. That's about where I am stuck at.

I just put on snows on steelies as well and then drove to Ohio. Mileage sucks...low 40s at best. My best highway was over 50 to Oklahoma. The factors that are different for this trip: Snow tires (not low rolling resistance), heavy(er) steel wheels, more luggage (longer trip). But, overall, 40 is still okay.

Actually the Bridgestone Blizzaks ARE LRR. Not sure what you have, but those steelies are true FE killers.
I've actually dipped below 40 this tank. I think it's a combination of cold, wet, short trips, and snow tires. Bummer.
