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.

Thanks for looking into that, I'd forgotten to do so myself. I did however look at what people in Civic Hybrids had got which is also relevant, and there's an average improvement of 23.1% over EPA for those cars. I think it's probably fairly safe to assume that the CR-Z's figures are underestimated,
especially if they have been recorded in the Normal driving mode rather than Eco.
