[quote=Anonymous]We just got a Highlander hybrid and its great! One thing to consider about Hybrid vs Electric is that the battery range decreases significantly when the weather is cold, as it was here recently. So the hybrid does not get as good MPG under these conditions. Still though, it is much better on gas than a purely gas Highlander - ours gets up to 29 mpg in mostly city driving when the temp is above 50 degrees, and about 22 when its below 25 or 30. My wife's friend's regular gas powered Highlander only gets 14 mpg. As far as electrics go-I think it will be a while before electric SUVs are practical and hybrids give you a lot more flexibility if you want to go someplace that does not have the charging infrastructure. If you want to reduce your carbon footprint: try taking fewer trips in the car and lower your house thermostat in the winter. Just my 2 cents. [/quote]
