The EPA had 115 people supply their actual mileage figures from 2006 Civic Hybrids, while 61 people submitted their results from their 2008 Civic Hybrids. In both cases, real-world mileage was actually better than what the revised EPA estimates indicate. We saw the same thing recently when we tested two 40 mpg-rated cars—a new Hyundai Elantra and a Ford Focus—and did better than the latest EPA estimates.

I have to admit, I was surprised by that. We recently got a new (used) car, and it has current mileage on the display. It's affecting my driving habits a bit.
