While it's a little warmer here in Chicago, mine doesn't take long to get warm. It's auto climate control, though. I don't know if that makes a difference.
 
It might be worth getting it checked out, in case it's a simple fix.

Check out the cabin air filter. It is located behind the glove compartment. It may be clogged and need replacement.

I have just bought a 2005 Highlander Base model with 6 Cyl and 4WD. I only got 12.3mpg in the city. I meassured this way:
 
The car has only 34 miles with full gas in the tank when I Droved out of hte dealership. Once I see the "yellow" alarming for low fuel. The ODO is only show 268miles. According to the specification, the city miliage should be 18 mpg. and the tank is 19.1 gallons. I called the sales of the dealer, he can not explain this to me. He suggested me to call their service. I'll see.
 
My question is that is my method correct? If yes, then the mileage is too lower. If not then how can we correctly measure the mileage?
 
Thanks,

Fill the car yourself to pump cutoff. Set your trip ODO to zero. When you need gas, fill again and divide the total on the trip ODO by the number of gallons your car took to get mpg.

Hi! I am proud owner of new 2005 Highlander.
Only one problem or non-problem in the few days i have owned it. When driving, i feel a slight vibration in the steering wheel. Is this to be expected for this kind of vehicle? Am i being picky? (2WD 6 cyl.)

Slight vibration.... by wwest

It would not be all that unusual to have a defective front tire shipped from the factory.
 
If the vibration occurs during cruise have the front wheels moved to the back, if during braking have the front brake rotors checked.

Or....I just bought a two yr old car from a top tier dealer who does a 104 point check on each car that he keeps to sell. After noticing steering wheel vibration, I checked the tires. The left front was 55 lbs, the other three were exactly 20 lbs.!!! Put 30 in all and no more vibration. So much for his 104 point check huh.

The low tire pressure light came on again the other day. According to the owner's manual, the vehicle has to be driven for about 5 minutes in order to detect low pressure. My wife, who's the driver, works about a mile from my house and not until she runs errands is she driving it long enough. Sooooo, it's going in to the shop.
