My last trip to Tennessee I rented a 2025 Toyota Camry HEV.

All I can say is: AMAZING VEHICLE!!!

Averaged 38mpg to & from Tennessee from Northeast IL, including over two mountain ranges (Cumberland and Smokey Mountains).

Even in ECO mode, it had monster acceleration using the electric motors to boost acceleration with the gas engine.

In Sport mode I thought I was driving a V8 the acceleration was that damn' impressive and the MPG hit in Sport mode was pretty nominal.

Toyota's had it 100% right since the beginning and I believed it when they said it years ago: HEV's are the future, EV's are not.

You don't get stranded with an HEV unless you run out of gas.

I rented the same car in Boise last month. It was a really nice car to drive. After three days of driving around the metro Boise/Nampa/Caldwell I used $10 in gasoline. Not even 3 gallons.

That Camry was a blast to drive.
