Things I should know now that I own a Honda Hybrid
Hello guys,
I just bought a 2006 Honda Hybrid. I test drove it and it ran great, so I bought it. I was wondering if there's anything that you all think I should know about and do.
I have been thinking about doing the following:
Change the rims. I want to get something nice, but also be sure that I keep my gas savings.
Change the stereo system. Either that or possibly buy an Ipod adapter.

Keep the same sized rims and make sure to get LRR tires of the same aspect ratio or you will lose a significant chuck of your MPG, I went from 30-39mpg with 215/45/17 and now 36-47mpg with 15" lightweight rims and LRR tires.... Makes a huge difference believe me.
I even found some nice black lightweight 15" rims that look decent on the car for 15's... makes the car look more track oriented though. i will post pics later.
