Re: Hybrid Misunderstanding
We were getting about 26 in ours and we to run the AC all the time. We just put the Goodyear Fortera's with the Tripple Tread Technology on and hav noticed the mpgs dropped to about 25.
I will say the acceleration isn't what is giving you the low mpgs as much as you think it is. The key to getting good mpgs in the hybrids is coasting. If you see a red light 1/2 a mile ahead of you, let off the gas and coast, you can do the same thing on the freeway in traffic. The Highlander will actually hold pretty good speed while coasting and your mpgs go way up.
