What the EPA?!?

Wow!

The way the instrumentation is set up on the Hybrid, you can see what kind of mileage you're getting on any given trip via the "Eco-Meter," but it pegs at 42 MPG. (You get real-time feedback via an analog gauge, but that's not terribly helpful.) So you never know how well you're doing if you're doing better than 42...except when you fill up — which I did for the first time this morning — because then you can check the "tank average," which is one and the same as the trip average for the very first trip you take after gassing up. So...

This morning I filled up and drove down to Baltimore and got:

48.4 MPG!

Wow.
