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

I wanted the basic 2009 TCH, but none of the dealers I called had any in stock. The only 2009 TCH coming in were loaded. The dealer I went to had 2 on the lot, a White one with the Nav pkg. and a Gray one with the Bluetooth pkg. I did not want the Nav since I've read the Toyota Nav was not that good. Picked up my TCH 2 days ago. Last one on the lot. MSRP was $29,227 with the Bluetooth, alloy wheels, heated seats and mirror, leather trim, etc/,paid $27,857. I leased for 3/36000 miles and bought the Premier Prepaid Maint program. I'm wondering if I should cancel the maint. program of 5000/4mo interval and 15000 major since I only drive less than 11,000 miles per year. Any suggestions?
