I purchased an '07 XLE-V6 for the wife in March. The TCH was not yet available. I got my '07 TCH in early July.
Using the techniques learned to maximize mileage on the TCH in the XLE I found I can get remarkable mileage even on the V6.
High 20s city and 35+ highway.
The XLE's highway mileage is reasonably close to the TCH's but with the V6 it really is a better road machine. With only a 5 mpg "hit" in FE we've been using the XLE for trips and it's full sized trunk is nice too.

So I wonder if EVERYONE used hybrid driving techniques even on conventional cars the spread between conventional mileage and hybrid mileage might be reduced? Could even reduce dependence on imported oil? Cure the common cold? You name it.
