Default Re: Disappointing gas mileage

update.



I am actually learning to drive the highlander due to my wife. I was busy trying to stay in EV all the time. My mileage readings were in the low 20s. My wife got in and drove the thing the way she has always driven , and IGNORED the readout. I didnt ignore it from the passenger seat however, and was AGHAST at what i was seeing.



she was averaging 31mpg even though the trip was 6miles round trip. It seems to be the best when the EV works in tandem with the ICE, with the battery constantly recharging!!!!!

I knew i married her for more than her looks.........
