So I've had my Camry Hybrid for about 3 weeks now, and I'm not getting nearly the gas mileage I had expected. My average on my first tank was 24.8 mpg! I knew it would take me awhile to achieve the results that some of the folks here have been getting, but this is a little ridiculous. I got the Camry strictly because of the gas mileage; with these kind of results, I might as well have gotten the Jetta that I really wanted but felt too guilty to buy!

Please forgive this newbie disillusionment--I'm sure it will pass. BUT, my big question is, what am I doing wrong? I've tried to follow the guidelines in the manual (drive at the speed limit, brake gradually, etc. ) but to no avail. Is it me? Is it the car? Will it get better?

Any insight would be appreciated...
