my folks have a hybrid camry, it doesn’t improve mileage, all it does it add weight and eat up a lot of trunk space. My parents are already looking to just convert it back to full gas engine driven.
I told them before they bought it that it’s all hyped and they wouldn’t listen.
They (and I, when I borrowed it for a week) were getting over 40mpg.
The regular Camrys get that? I’ve read they’re usually in the upper 20s/low 30s.
My limited understanding of hybrid cars is that they significantly improve city mileage, while reducing mileage slightly on the road. So whether they save you gas or not is pretty much dependent on where and how you drive.
Something must be wrong with that Camry. I have a 2012 Camry hybrid LE that has averaged over 46.3 mpg since purchasing new in March 2012.
I am very satisfied with this car. Zero problems so far.
