Being as I have a 97 CRV with 228,000 miles. I don't think the blue book value can fall any farther. It gets respectable mileage for an SUV 23C/26H, hence the reason it was purchased. Check out calcars.org. They are working for plug in hybrids with the Priuth. I figured maybe someone out there was trying it with a Honda. Plus I needed to vent.
