Pull in to the City traffic 27 to 29....My prius was more consistant 45 to 48mpg it didnt matter if you were on highway or city best mpg with that car was 58 highway one time..
9200 miles on highlander.............

The HH on the highway is not the best in class for sure. However, my 06 will get 25-28 on the highways and mixed highway and secondary roads (45-55mph) have gotted 29-30mpg regularly on a trip. The v6, while smaller then the std Highlander still does not sip gas as well I believe as it could.

In this cold weather in town I only get 19-22 mpg, still better then the nonhybrid
