I'm moving to Florida (Sarasota) in a month or 2 (late July / early Aug) and wondering how HCH owners do with the mpg down there? Currently in Ohio, and the mpg during the winter when I first bought wasn't that great, but has picked up considerably since the weather warmed up -- 48.0 mpg on my last tank. Does the nicer weather in FL help out, or does the heat in the summer require too much air conditioning and knock you back down?

 

I'm in Orlando right now. I think during July we may see a drop in mileage as the temperatures are 95+ regularly. It's already about up there. For the most part, however, temperature around here is pretty ideal. In the winter months, sure it's cold, but in my experience it's perhaps a few miles per gallon. In my Prius, at least.

 

I work in Sarasota. During the summer it's hard to not use the AC. I work nights so my long commute is at night and as of recently have been using the ac. 55 to 60 is my best right now..winter months are great...we have quite a few hybrids in sarasota..i see 2 insight on my way home almost everyday..scott
