Outside - no garage or block heater with pretty brutal temps has us hovering around 20-21mpg unfortunately. Looking forward to summer now!

The one bright spot was my drive home from the gas station a while back -- it's down the street from me so was able to drive home in EV mode. Seeing the mpg's go to 89mpg on the new tank was quite a bit of fun
How is Highlander Hybrid in the snow? I currently live in nyc and it snows alot less than chicago but I worry that maybe the hybrid can not handle as well as my subaru outback in the snow. can u give some input on how it handles in bad wheather?

thanks
