Lousy Gas Mileage

I have always liked the idea of the early Highlander Hybrid; Compact, sturdy, Full Sized spare tire and great gas mileage. However we always needed a larger vehicle (minivan) for family use. Last year we realized we needed an extra car and I found (what I thought was) a good deal on an '06 Hi-Hy. Fast forward to 1+ year later and I have been getting a constant 17 mpg (city & highway) no matter how easy I go on the pedal. The electric motor never stays on for more than a few seconds, no matter how hard I try. I have been to 2 Toyo dealers in 2 states and both say everything is working properly "according to their diagnostic computers". My 2014 Odyssey gets bad mileage also (the same 17.0 mpg) but it weighs almost 1000 lbs. more. Has anyone else had a similar problem or did I just buy the worst Hi-Hy ever made ????
I love this vehicle

This is my second Highlander in a row and my first Hybrid. I LOVE IT! Sure, it's not perfect, but kudos to Toyota for giving us an alternative to the gas guzzling SUV. Mileage at 10,000 km is apx. 28 hwy and 25 city (hilly). On the flats, mileage is closer to 30 mpg combined. So, it's not perfect yet, but already I calculate I've used over 600 litres (160 gallons) less than with my previous Highlander. The vehicle is a bit heavier and handling is not quite as sharp as the '01 but it's comfortable and the acceleration is fantastic. This vehicle gets you thinking the right way about fuel consumption. Highly recommended to those who care.

Got this SUV 2 months back, so far no issue at all, and what amazing comfort I got with this. Very roomy, fuel efficient, now I am getting 31MPG combine. I guess I can achieve 34mpg when only driving 40M/h. I started with 28 on my first 400miles.
Coolest Car EVER!!

I'm from Denver and we've had tons of snow this winter. I have wrung my car thru the ringer to give it a good "test" and it has done every thing I've asked it to with ease and grace! In addition to the awesome AWD, the ride is smooth, the interior is comfy, and there's tons of horsepower. My low MPG was 22 (85 mph on I-70 in 100 degree heat) and my high was 29 (being a really good girl on the throttle). MPG drops substantially when it's very cold out. Best MPG seems to be city highways with heavy traffic. I wouldn't trade this car for anything else on the road - unless of course it was something real expensive so I could sell it and buy 2 Highlander Hybrids.
