The launch of the electric car has yet to put hybrid cars out of commission, and Honda has given us another reason to have faith in hybrid driving, at least until EVs prove their worth. Honda's Civic model has been around for a long time and it's one of the best-selling models in the Honda lineup and has been for years. Cherry Hill Honda Accord drivers love the Civic for its overall dependability, but fuel efficiency and a small car feel are great parts of the overall package as well. The brand new Civic Hybrid gives those drivers a reason to fall in love all over again. In fact, the hybrid gets a pretty respectable 44 miles per gallon in most situations, but according to new media reports, a few auto editors practicing "hypermiling" pushed the car to the limit and squeaked 68.7 miles per gallon out of the engine – nearly 25 mpg higher than the EPA rating. We don't all practice hypermiling, but you better believe we all could be doing a better job saving on gas where it counts. The practice is actually a set of rules for driving as efficiently as possible, including things like tailgating trucks to increase aerodynamic forces, coasting up to stoplights instead of breaking, and much, much more. Your Gloucester County Honda dealer should be able to help you out with a few more tips as well.
Hypermiling is great, but the 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid stands out on its own as an extremely reliable car with great overall drivability. And would you expect anything less from one of America's favorite car brands? Cherry Hill Honda Accord drivers already enjoy many of the benefits of the Honda experience, but the Civic will offer them a brand new experience that is sure to please. According to a recent article at AOL, "Sure, the earth-friendly Eco Assist feature is enough to make one's beard coo with baby birds who have taken up residence. But added to that, the vehicle, which starts at $24,050 and is available at dealerships this month, features a tauter body and more aerodynamic honeycomb grill, a raked windshield, five-spoke alloy wheels, and a high-performing 1.5 liter, 8-valve, SOHC i-VTEC engine to complement the hybrid features. In short, the styling is an improvement over the sensible-shoe profile of the old one." While the most important parts of the equation are reliability and fuel efficiency, the Civic also adds an element of styling that drivers will love even better than past models. Your Gloucester County Honda dealer is the place to find the new Civic.
I'm a Cherry Hill Honda Accord driver, and I've already made plans to check out what the new Civic brings to the table. It won't be exactly the same as my Accord, but the reliability will be there, and the fuel efficiency will be better. Remember, if you're interested in learning a little more about hypermiling, make sure to head down to your Gloucester County Honda dealer for some help.
