Loaned the TCH to my son for a day for a trip. Typical kid, can't tell him anything he doesn't already know. I asked him when he got home how it did. He was proud to have gotten 32.7mpg. I about choked (I'm averaging 39.5+ over 13,500 miles). He didn't think he had done badly; I was expecting him at about 36 but not 32.7! He drove it like many other newbe's and at 75 mph in hilly country that's probably not all that bad. I drive at 65 to 70 (slowing some on grades) and get 41 on that same 250 mile round trip drive. |

Just returned from my monthly trip from Kansas City to Lincoln, NE. Round trip is about 450 miles. Now I had a slight tail wind from the south during the trip up. Heat wave from the southwest. and a cold front moved in wed and had a small tail wind coming home. Temperature on the return trip was about 61 degrees so the A/C was off. Seemed to be perfect conditions for a trip. Total MPG for the whole trip was 44.6 and the return leg was 50.2 - unbelievable.  Speed contral was set at 66mph according to the speedo (which is reading ~3mph high) My tires are set at 40psi. so that might have helped. Heading to Alabama tomorrow -~2000 miles round trip. And the oil is being changed as I type to 0-20 synthetic.

I accidentally left the fuel cap open a few weeks ago, which caused the check engine light to come on. I quickly fixed the situation, and indicator turned off. Ever since then, however, I have gotten very poor mileage – about 27 MPG on average. This is far *far* below the spec’d MPG. What can be done?

| Sounds to me the dealership might need to do a computer reboot on the MPG calculator and sensors....... | |
Wow, what an awesome vehicle is the 2007 TCH... I just got back from a trip (250 miles both ways) to a Zoo and my TANK AVG registered 46.1 MPG with 60-70mph in highway with temperature between 59-65F (my previous best one was 43.5 MPG)... unbelievable, the more I drive it the better the MPG gets, but definitely one needs to know how to drive a Hybrid in order to maximize FE...
