You're doing a great job so far! I would cut back the freeway speed to 60 though, unless you happen to get better mpgs @ 65 rather than 60. For me, that is a 2-4 mpg gain on my instant readout depending on conditions.

Also, ditch the carpet. Your Accord could stand to lose a few pounds
Yep, being appreciated is awesome. I try to go 60 when I can, but traffic doesn't permit it much. I would remove tons of things to reduce weight in my car, but my dad hates when i leave any car parts around, and we like to have fully functioning interiors. Also, if i'm going to reduce weight I would love to take weight from the front of the car instead of the rear to keep the weight balance under control. I'm planning a power steering delete and may go through with it once i see a picture of an accord hybrid's accessory belt setup.
