The 'c' is currently has the best MPG of any non-plug in hybrid available.
The 'c' is optimized for city driving. It performs best in heavy traffic. Short trips (4 or 5 miles) during rush hour can easily net 65 to 70 MPG.

Current Mods:
No hardware changes yet. But Eco mode is being used 100% of the time now.
Planned Mods:
Since the 'c' uses EV mode more than 50% of city miles, I will be looking into any add-on EV assist technology (144v plug-in charger/ extra pack etc) as they are developed.
