TCH not on the Toyota search site? - GreenHybrid

Was on one of the local Toyota dealer's site today, and the TCH seems to have disappeared from the site, coincident with the '10s coming on-line. Kinda interesting - even the '09s aren't on the site. Wonder if Toyota's going 'Ford' on us?

Weird thing - a different dealer's site shows the '09 TCH, but no '10s. What's up with that? Thought the '10 TCH was out.

Another site piece of weirdness: EPA stickers on the '10 SE show gas price of $ 1.90. The TCH '09 sticker shows at $4.10.

http://www.lighthousetoyota.com - no TCH, has '10s
http://www.arlingtontoyota.com - shows the TCH as an option.

I was able to find the 2009 Hybrids they have in stock at Lighthouse Toyota with a bit of searching around their site. They currently have six '09 Hybrids in stock (As of 5/25)- Two in Jasper green, one in black, one white, one gray, and one in desert sand.

Arlington Toyota currently shows 21 TCHs in stock.

The reason for the difference in gas prices on the EPA sticker is because the average price of fuel has fallen dramatically in the last year. Keep in mind, last year at this time gas was hovering around the $4/gallon mark. Since then, it has fallen to below $2.00.

Weird - they're back.

Seems like something went on with the site for a bit. Was a bit curious about the '10s - heard a mention about some interior stuff changing...

As to fuel costs - took a trip to Tampa on Saturday - and the fuel is going back to $2.40 or so. Made me glad for the 40 MPG of the TCH. Making a 470 mile round trip for < $25 is a good thing.
