I got curious about EPA MPG vs. Ecomodder MPG and went searching in "the garage".

Only found one of the new Insights that was recording MPGs, it's getting 48 vs. the EPA's 41 (combined), or 17% better. The Prius crowd is averaging 14.8% better than EPA. I think it would be fair to say that Ecomodders will average 15% better than EPA estimates in hybrid vehicles.
