Hi just wanted to let everyone have a small insight into hybrids,everyone’s talking hybrids it seems and the hybrid systems are definitely a step in the right direction,having run a Toyota hybrid for the last three years and over 50000 miles if any one thinks that hybrid is the answer to their fuel economy woes then I think there will be some disappointment I have averaged 45mpg over the 50000 miles, which is good but not groundbreaking the cvt is certainly not a problem and you soon get used to it , the Toyota is not particularly powerful but more than adequate for most daily activities
