Per your advice I started a fuel log, and it's been interesting to track my progress. My car seems to hover around 32 MPG with my usual commute cycle, although I was able to hit 36 MPG on a highway-heavy tank at one point. Right now my financial priority is to pay the car off, but once that's done I'm going to finish with the Hybrid aerodynamic upgrade by installing all the belly pan components. I had a look at a Civic Hybrid on the road yesterday - I couldn't tell for sure, but it looks like the Hybrid's grill comes from Honda largely blocked out. I'll have to see if I can find one sitting still that I can examine, but it certainly looks like another interesting part to add, assuming the R18A1 motor can get sufficient cooling with a blocked grill.
