Default Re: How accurate is the display fuel economy?

My 07 HH runs about right on actually. I was driving across the country and I was filling the tank to the spill point on each stop so I could accurately measure the mileage vs. the MPG the computer calculated. I did not know about the over filling risk at the time, so I would not do it again, but either way, I was burning the fuel out in a matter of minutes makeing space in the tank.

My observation with 3 folks and lots of gear in the car that your fuel economy plummets above 65 and at 80+ it is doing so so. Around 25 mpg.

.

When will the 2008 Highlander Hybrids come out and how much can they tow? The answer is 07/28/08 and 3500 lbs with 350 lbs tongue weight.

08/15/07 Update. The hitch will be a class 3 valley hitch.

As of 08/19/07 3 weeks to the 08's. Maybe soon we can order them.

As of 9/9/07 Broke down and bought a "gas" Sport Highlander. The Hybrids are delayed till October-November and could not wait.
