Great questions.
Snow is essentially a non-issue. Plows are out super early and it usually melts by the next day. The mountains are where it can accumulate and stay all winter (and stick around into the next fall!)
My commute is city as of now, but I will be moving (back) to Alabama, and literally everything there is going to be a much longer drive, hence my concern for hwy mpg. Also, those usually have better city mpg anyways.
Also, the accord is 16 years from its manufacture date (bit old), I've had it 8 years (time for change), and it's low mpg rating doesn't lend itself to cracking out 50mpg. My highest tank ever was 29mpg hwy.
Also, doesn't hurt to be 'green'!
