Smile Re: Disappointing gas mileage

Hi All,

I've owned my Highlander Hybrid LTD for a month now and love it !!!
I'm amused by those who complain about poor mileage with their HH. Didn't they do some research on this and other Highlander Hybrid forums before making their purchase ??
If they did, they would have found that optimum mileage with this vehicle doesn't occur until after 1500 - 2000 miles. They also would have known enough to NOT believe the posted MPG on the sales sticker.
I think there are some HH owners with unrealistic expectations.
I currently have 850 miles on my HH and am getting 26.9 MPG in mixed city/highway driving. I don't expect to get more than another MPG in mixed driving when the engine is finally "broken in"....and I would be VERY pleased with that !!!
