We've the happy owners of a 2008 HH Limited with about 600miles so far. We're in a fairly hilly portion of Oregon doing mostly errands, but I'm only averaging around 21mpg. Anyone else have experiences with the 2008 they can share? |

Replying to: mesadog (Nov 01, 2007 2:45 pm) I am from Edmonton and I bought HHL-06,19K miles with NAV from USA. I am trying to convert convert digital odometer reading from Miles to Kilometre and to degC. Do you have any idea? I contacted local Toyota dealer and they cannot figure out this change to Metric without changing odemeter cluster. Any help is appreciated. regards, Steaman

Over all I am very happy, but the magnitude of the decline in fuel efficiency in colder weather has surprised me. With my mix of driving I was getting about 25 mpg when the cold hit and now I am about 20% lower.

Greetings: I have a 2007 HH Limited FWD and have also noted lower MPG due to the cooler temps. I was averaging 28/29mpg in the Spring/Summer but have dropped to 25-26 here in the mid-Atlantic region (VA). I believe this is due to the ICE running more frequently to keep the engine temp up. My previous vehicle (non-hybrid) would also incurr a drop in overall MPG when the temps dropped in Fall & Winter. Still, my MPG is far better than a similar sized vehicle and I am quite pleased overall. Regards - M. J. McCloskey |

On my third tank of gas, 800 miles in. Mileage was roughly 21 mpg the first tank, 20.5 the second, 20.2 on this one. On the highway it gets up to about 24-25 mpg but in the city it's between 20 and 21, and most of my driving is in the city. This seems much lower than almost everybody else is reporting?!? It's a Limited, if that matters. Cold tire pressure is 34 psi. I'm driving in Econ mode and trying to accelerate smoothly and slowly. The terrain has a few hills, but nothing dramatic, and I go down the same hills going the other way. I live in the Seattle area--I saw somebody in Oregon also reporting low mileage. Maybe something about the Pacific Northwest? Do people think this is something where I should bring it to the dealer and ask them to investigate? Thanks. - adam |

We bought our Highlander Hybrid in December and have been getting progressively worse mileage. We have gone from 26.8 to now 20.2 (on our 5th tank). The dealer says it is related to cold weather. I would have not bought the vehicle if I knew that was the case. Could it be something with computer, battery. etc...? What is the best source on the web for Highlander Hybrid information? Thanks in advance, all comments appreciated. Steve

Replying to: desertfox1 (Jan 29, 2008 8:54 am) One thing is, the car is parked outside both at night and during the day. The temperature has been in the low 30s at night, high 30s or low 40s during the day. And I'm only driving about 20 minutes each way to work, so maybe the car never has a chance to warm up. Thanks. - adam |
