Toyota hybrid commercials have their share of hot air

Yes, it’s nice to have more hybrids than anybody else.

But, it would be nice if all of them actually used hybrids’ full potential.

Take the hybrid Camry, for example.

Toyota BOASTS of getting 40mpg in the city.

But, the Honda Accord hybrid, which is nothing to write home about in terms of hybrid fuel economy, gets 44mpg.

And, I haven’t seen the hybrid Camry’s highway mpg. But, if it gets just 40 in the city, it’s probably only about 35 on the highway, which is the same as the 4-cylinder gas-only Camry,

Toyota looks more and more like an American-based car company all the time, it seems to me.
