Replying to: hybridriver (Jun 15, 2006 5:49 pm)  I don't understand how you could look at a Camry Hybrid, and then look at those pictures and think you were looking at the same model/trim level. Titanium TCH? |

Remember to get it in writing and a reciept that the deposit is refundable. Remember what they say about contracts not written down... they are not worth the paper they are written on. Gampa

Hi All: Not bad for the first time behind the wheel, 5 adults in the car, ~ 200 #’s of stuff in the trunk, and a RT (parking lot to parking lot) segment. That was from Miller Park towards downtown and back again last Sunday at the Madison and Milwaukee Hybrid Group’s - Annual Brewer’s Game get together. The right driver with the right commute is going to do some serious damage to the EPA estimates in this thing! Those of you that own one have a very nice automobile sans the un-ergonomic instrumentation.  Good Luck Wayne R. Gerdes

Hybridriver: Thanks for the great report! If I read your post correctly, here are the lessons-learned: 1) You should get at least 50 miles after reaching "E" (that gives still gives you a safety margin). 2) The car may take a bit more than the advertised 17 gal. or the gasoline station that you used had poorly callibrated (rip-off)pumps. 3) The car will still run on electric if the gas runs out (please tell if you think that you could have actually run some distance on electric only). As we always say "YMMV". Thanks Again! |

As we always say "YMMV". Thanks Again! You're welcome, glad you found it useful. To address your points above: 1) Well, you'll have just over 3 gallons in the tank when the needle hits E. That makes it pretty easy to calculate your worst case margin based on tank average (or current consumption). I personally don't plan to let the needle drop much below E in the future. 2) Correct. Do I dare do the experiment again to get more data?  3) I think the car will still run on electric, but probably not very far, and also not very safely. It really felt like driving a golf cart after the ICE cut out, which makes sense when you realize you've just lost 75% of your horsepower. Also, draining the battery completely is not good for it. By the way, I had said "gas station" to the Nav screen, so I could monitor my nearest option when I ran out of gas (was in an unfamiliar area). It was pure luck that there was one just ahead when I did. Didn't have to deal with the gas can.
