09 TCH Prices seem to be going up by bobdeven1

Just picked up one in the Denver area. Had to order one and wait about 3 weeks. Closed for 28,5 (included all fees except sales tax) with nav, leather, sunroof, heated seats, mats. The fleet dealer said they were in big demand now and Toyota just announced a $300 price increase for the TCH this week. The prices on the Fitzmall website have also gone way up (around 29 for the loaded version), and the Edmunds TMV and CarsDirect sites are also showing even higher prices now. Must be the high gas prices coupled with the tax rebates rolling in increasing demand. Seemed like there were a lot of 08s available on the lots only a couple months ago., but they are all gone now. Definitely a nice car with lots of great features and was worth the short wait.

Traci - it's a great car... a Lexus in sheep's clothing but you have to learn how to drive it to get the maximum mpg's. It completely changed my driving habits and I average between 38 and 41 mpg per tank. There are many older posts on driving tips... in a nutshell, it's learning how to accelerate easily and then coast... anticipate stops and do not over accelerate on starts... that was the very abridged version, you will find the posts go into much better detail than I.

right now the DFW area and others in TX are doing fairly well--
home sales are happening---people are buying cars and eating out still--cars in Wal-Mart and Target lots and at the mall
prices are higher in grocery stores and our gas pumps like everywhere else but we have not seen big layoffs--
some of them are coming as the mortgage crunch is starting to hit home (they are closing a Citi Bank facility w/100 employees in my town this month)
business constructions is still happening and there are new housing developments going in as well

Thank Plknj,
 
My first tank of gas gave me 31.7 mpg. My second tank is showing 36.4 and above. I actually saw 40.3 ! Wow! I'm loving this car! Love all of the loaded goodies too!
 
When researching the car online, it says that you should get 580 miles per tank. We will see?
 
I'm starting out easy at the intersections now so wee will see what happens.
 
thanks for the driving tip

If you're new read the old threads before you panic about the tank range. On empty you'll still have 3 gallons of gas so if you show empty at 500 miles yes indeed you can go to 580 most of the time. I typically fill up with about 14 gallons and 530+/- miles on the tank getting 38mpg, so if you're averaging 38+ mpg 600 is an easy target.

got gas yesterday--new car 430 miles on the display--almost 14 gallons
so the mpg was only 31--but we are still learning how to drive--my husband has been driving when we go together and he is little more heavy footed than I am
 
how much does the tank physically hold as full?

I'd make him ride in the passengers seat from now on . I drove in a rain storm at 80+ mph last weekend and got 32.5. Worst I've ever done. I'm not sure how anyone could get 31 unless it was deliberate
