I am looking for simple answers without long, drawn out responses thanks!
1) how happy are you with your Camry Hybrid purchase?
2) What real world mileage are you getting city?
Thanks!

Re: Happy with your Camry Hybrid?
a few topics on this... as well as the database of cars / mileage.
I'll humor you
I 150% love my 2009 Camry. I never would have thought that I would like a Mid-Size Sedan.
As for MPG... I get 30~35 normal city driving. 35~45 When i'm actually trying to get good MPG. So real world... aka non-hybrid owner driving... 30~35 MPG. I'm sure it could be better, but I live in a REALLY hilly area. (just under 1900 feet, and all my clients are down in the 900ft range... so I clime a LOT of hills to get home)

1) After 3 months and almost 6000km (~4000mi) we still wouldn't trade it for anything else.
2) City mileage varies. I live in a flat city. A month ago I filled up and over 2 days drove 140km (80mi) non rush hour traffic and had a tank avg of 4.8l/100km (49 mpg US). Most of our commutes are during peak times, and so far we're averaging 5.4l/100km (43 mpg US). It doesn't seem to matter if we do city or highway as the tank avg doesn't seem to change. What does hurt is rain, A/C use or a really long wait in traffic where the battery doesn't get a chance to recharge while we're moving.

I love my 2007 TCH, best car I have ever owned. Its now just over 1 year old and has over 18,000 miles. The lifetime MPG is 40.3 (see my sig). My commute is mostly local highway, 22 miles each way. Short trips/commutes will hurt milage. Milage is much better in warm weather.

1. Love the car. Previously owned a Corvette and a Supra.
2. City mileage is a function of how long the drive and if it is preceded by Highway mileage.
If I drive just city, no highway, I get 36 mpg for short drive. If I have a longer trip, I normally get 40-42 mpg.
If I drive after having been on the freeway, I always get better than 40 mpg and often see 50 mpg.
I have had the car for two years now and am still learning details about how to optimize it.
My lifetime city mileage average is around 38 mpg.
