 Detailed review:

I don't know why other owners are getting poor gas mileage with their Camry Hybrid as I am getting a solid 38 mpg on the highway just like the window sticker estimated. I sometimes get up to 40 - 41 mpg on the first half of the tank but the entire tank will always average 38 mpg in the end. My driving includes, rush hour, hills, air conditioning on, radio on, etc. In fact I have not changed my driving habits at all on the highway and do the speed limit + 5 mph (75 mph). City mileage however is only 33 - 34 mpg but that's to be expected since it is virtually impossible to run on battery power. Especially when some Soccer Mom or Dad, in their gas guzzling Suburban/Tahoe/Navigator/Hummer is bearing down on your rear bumper after you turn on to the road. You are forced to accelerate to avoid being run over by an idiot driving a tank. The base model Camry comes well equipped with all the extras you usually have to pay for in other cars. The only upgrade options available are moonroof or leather or a GPS. The base model only needs floor mats to provide a stylish ride. This is a great Salesmans' car and makes good economical sense to buy. Your only fooling yourself if you think gas prices are not going to go up again.
