I haven't sat behind the wheel of a 2nd gen Civic Hybrid, but the first gen and Insight both have insanely tall gearing, and for the CVTs, try to keep the revs down. Honda's secret sauce to great fuel economy is to use the smallest motor they could get away with, with the tallest gearing that didn't make the car undrivable.
