Incorrect EPA mpg for Honda Civic Hybrid II

Is the moderator for this website ever going to change the EPA mpg rating listed on this website for the Honda Civic hybrid II? The new EPA mpg rating for the HCHII is 40mpg city and 45mpg highway. Anyone can verify this EPA rating on Honda's website.

I believe all of our ratings are from the old system, but I'll contact IB about this. Thanks!

OK, this is fixed.

I'm thinking in the next version of the HMDB, we'll have different slots for the old and new systems.

Wow..So low...40 and 45...Oh well, my hypermiling efforts will just mean that much more.

That is a good idea to have both listed in the HMDB.

Don't feel bad, there are plenty of people driving trucks and SUVs who would love to get 20MPG mixed. 40-45 may not be Insight or Polo territory, but it's still way ahead of the game MPG wise.
