congrats on your highlander. We too were getting 22mpg until i realized driving with the ICE and EV working in tandam gives the best mileage. The thing with driving in EV is that it depletes the batteries very quickly, thus the ICE has to come on to recharge it, instantly draining your mpg. So, having the battery constantly charged at around 40-45 miles per hour has given us consistent readings of over 30mpg -with the ICE on.

The idea of driving in EV though , is the main reason i am chaffing at the bit for plug in hybrid options to make their way onto the scene.
