My experience with the HH has been, as you can see from my mileage charts, way less then Toyota is advertising. That said, I have less than 1,000 miles on mine and the temps have been in the 20's recently. I realize the cold weather takes a big toll on mileage, but I did expect closer to the 30 - 33 MPG in town they are advertising. It looks like the folks with the RX are seeing the same mileage, unless they are in the warmer climate and have only the 2 wheel drive.

But, have I told you about the WOW factor with the power on the HH Vs the Std Highlander.

Still trying to understand this different driving technique everyone is talking about, can you, or someone else, explain it.
