Also, I love it that I only spent $27 to fill just over half a tank of gas, for my first fuel-up.

57 mpg average over an 80 mi trip today was pretty freakin' sweet.

I figured out that "brake hold" mode on the Honda Civic Hybrid makes the car stop creeping forward after a full stop like a gas vehicle. It's not *quite* single pedal driving mode, but it'll do.

I miss my manual transmission, but I don't miss 34 mpg.

Traction battery isn't large enough to sustain the vehicle by itself but rather it provides a "boost" to the combustion engine's output to keep it operating in it's "efficiency sweet-spot" as much as possible. Some hybrids are built differently than others though(series vs parallel) so I can imagine there is some variation.

I've never ridden in a hybrid or an electric car. I don't know anyone who owns one that I would also be in their car.
