2006 Honda Civic Hybrid mileage

If any of you are thinking about buying a new car and want to perform a payback analysis... I know I recently mentioned that I was getting 49mpg. But since gas hit $4... I've been driving a bit more conservatively... and doing things, such as slowing to 50mph on the inclines on the Merritt, etc. And with my most recent tank, I got 51.6mpg.
