All the recent mpg posts really would be a better fit over in the Real World MPG discussion so they've been moved over there.
If you are keeping track of your mileage, either via the odometer gizmo or by hand (or by both), please add to the info there. Thanks.

MY 09 will get a new I4 2.7L (187hp/186lb-ft) mated with 6 speed auto. This is a good try level with today gas price! It's going to debut mid to late January next year though.

It's about time someone realized that mating a 6 speed automatic transaxle with a poor(er) torque band I4 makes more sense than with a wide torque band V6. Not that the V6 can't take advantage of same, just that a 6 speed with an I4 makes MORE sense from an FE standpoint.
Now if they would just adopt Ford's variable displacement ATF oil pump to make up for the brilliant (FE wise) yet thoroughly FLAWED ATF line pressure control design introduced late in the last century and since propagated across the fleet.....

I had the same problem. My dealer said he already had seen it twice and was able to fix it in about 2 hours. Now I can get a full nights' sleep. Thanks for the posting.

the tire pressure warning light on my 2008 Limited HL has also come on, and I have increased air pressure to all tires to 33 psi, except for the spare which needs to be removed. I have tried resetting the TPM based on instructions on manual but no luck. Was it the spare tire that is causing the TPM turn on?

2008 HL RECALL - any updates?

I had my 10k maintenance early August and asked the service tech if they will do the fix for the 2008 HL recall notice for third row seat but he said they have not received any official instruction from toyota. This was publicized early this year and was supposed to be fixed in July. Anybody here received the official recall notice from Toyota?

I have not received the recall notice either but I did see a new Highlander on my dealer's lot by the service department with a note in the windshield that said "do not sell - tag for recall". Also, I saw the Toyota tech bulletin on the government recall notice web site for the third row seat belt replacement. It is not a simple procedure. It shows that they have to remove all the rear panels, side and floor, and the third row seats to replace the belts. Since I don't use the third row seat, I may not have it done.

If it's like my 4Runner's TPMS, the spare tire has a sensor. You'll need to lower it and check the pressure. Inconvenient, yes, but better than finding yourself with a flat spare when you need to use it.
