hybrids dont get nearly what they say they do in real world testing. Gasoline engines EPA rating usually isnt too far off, the hybrids numbers are usually 5 to 10 gallons off the mark. Its a marketing ploy/rape.

I'm averaging 47.5 over the first 2000 miles, and that has a bit of Manhattan rush hour driving which is most definitely not fuel efficient.

The more aggressive you drive the worse your fuel efficiency. You just notice it more on a hybrid.
