Hi, I just bought last 05 Civic Hybrid from my local Honda Dealer lot and drove to work today..50mpg in first try this morning..40miles trip.

 

Very nice on your first day!

 

Congrats Brian and welcome to the forum

Sounds like your a natural when it comes to driving efficiently (or did you get a little prior help the forum ). Did you get the manual or CVT? What was your last vehicle?

 

I am a aggressive driver, but with new car, I was little conservative. I used to have RL & S2000.

I wanted to get 5 speed but they only have CVT. but CVT is really works great when I stuck into the rush hour traffic(happens almost everyday).

TOday traffic was great(not normal).

When auto stop working? I noticed auto stop alway not triggered.

 

Auto stop feature only works under certain conditions. This can also be found in your owners manual.

-the temp of the engine coolant has to be near or at normal operating temp
-must have sufficient vacuum for brakes
-fan/ac must be off or have econ button on
-auto stop will reset when you travel above 10 MPH after your last auto stop
