1. 2011 w/ nav
2. 88,000 miles
3. All internal and external lights swapped to LED except the brights. (including puddle lights, fog, and headlights)
4. Installed the ivic so I can connect hdmi and my cell phone to the have screen.
5. installed the beatsonic nav unlocker so I can be more safe by being able to use the mouse while driving instead of the crappy voice recognition.
6. Installed a stainless steel tow hook license plate holder for the front plate.
7. Gas mileage average is 32.8 mpg. The hybrid part is a gimmick.
8. Wired a uniden 9500 radar detector through the mirror power.
9. Switched to the 2014 Fsport shift ****.

The hybrid part does not give you good gas mileage. It literally is a gimmick and is only needed because of the eCVT transmission needs the electric motor based on how they designed it.
Any good gas mileage you get in a CT200h is 100% from the gas engine only.

Basically normal driving = many starts and stops, having to accelerate, driving 80 mph or even hills = 32 mpg
If you can drive a constant speed, flat ground, 45 mph to 70 mph then you can get over 40 mpg.
Below 45 mph and the mileage drops quickly to around 32 mpg and as low as 28 mpg.

So only specific people who have certain commutes can achieve a high gas mileage, but as I said
that is based 100% on the gas engine. The electric motor does not help you achieve good gas mileage.
Even in stop and go traffic on the interstate with lots of stops and slow speeds you are lucky to get 38 mpg.
But if you can cruise at 55 or 60 mph on gas engine only you can get some high gas mileage numbers.
That is not practical for those that drive in traffic or on 70 or 75 mph interstates.

I was only getting 32 mpg so I did a lot of road testing to see how people were getting as high as 55 mpg. So, yes, the hybrid system is 100% a gimmick. Anyone with a ct200h knows this.
