#3 of 417 What are you really getting? by pf_flyer HOST Jun 12, 2006 (5:18 pm)
With the price of gas being what it is, your real world mileage is becoming more important than the estimates on the sticker. This is the place to talk about your real world on the road results!

#5 of 417 26.6 MPG by bogus1 Jun 17, 2006 (5:27 am)
26.6 MPG on my first tank mix of City/Highway and DC Rush Hour Traffic
#6 of 417 25.5 MPG by lenster1 Jun 21, 2006 (10:51 am)
25.5 on fourth tank traveling to and from Finger Lakes area, New York from around Phila suburb. Mostly highway driving but a lot of hills though. Interstate speed avg 75mph, AC on all the way. Not to bad for around 1200 miles on vehicle. I'm enjoying it. Replies to this message: desertfox1 (Jul 18, 2006 6:59 am) lenster1 (Jul 19, 2006 4:46 am)
#7 of 417 26.9 on first tank by corton Jul 12, 2006 (7:32 am)
I just purchased a Highlander Hybrid 4WD-i last week and the first tank ended up at a calculated 26.9 MPG (370 miles, 13.75 gal). That was with 60% highway, 40% city driving and substantial use of the AC as it was 90+. The average MPG as indicated on the computer agreed closely with that number.   So far I'm very happy with my choice of the Highlander Hybrid.

Replying to: lenster1 (Jun 21, 2006 10:51 am) Thinking about getting a HH. What was your experience with cruise control going thru the hills? Did it remain steady or shift up to maintain speed? I saw your post on what you bought, so I assume it is a 4x2 Limited based on MSRP. If I am wrong, let me know. Interesting to know that you can get 5k off MSRP.

#9 of 417 2nd tank 28.6 mpg by corton Jul 18, 2006 (8:27 am)
On my 2nd tank I calculated 28.6 mpg (380 miles, 13.26 gal), 25% freeway, 75% city driving. I used the AC about one third of the time.   I'm not a hypermiler by any means. I just drive normally and move along at the same speed or slightly faster than the rest of the traffic. I've really not adjusted my driving habits specifically for driving the hybrid, except to try and keep the KW meter below 75 when accelerating.   If I might comment regarding the previous post asking about cruise control in hilly environments - the Highlander Hybrid has a CVT transmission, so there is no shifting. When the cruise control is engaged and you reach a hill, the KW meter goes up as the engine makes more power, and you might hear the engine get a little louder, but with 268hp on tap, you do not have any issues maintaining speed on hills with the cruise control.

Replying to: desertfox1 (Jul 18, 2006 6:59 am) Cruise control question answered by Corton. I used a balance of cruise and normal acceleration along with Pulse and glide with all of the hills.   Vehicle I purchased was an ALL Wheel highlander Hybrid (4x4)with the package which includes the sunroof, rear spoiler etc.
