Highlander Hybrids

Don't know the real mileage but from what I have read, unless you really need a vehicle that the payback is some years.

If the Pilot is still good, I'd just wait a bit til the Highlander is out a while. (mine is an 02) I have heard that the hybrid is very surprisingly fast however.

I doubt that makes sense. YOu lose alot trading in a vehicle thats a few years old if it's in great condition.

Then you turn around and pay top $ for a new one.

It probably doesn't make sense to buy the hybrid over the regular highlander in an economic sense.

Say a HH is 30 mpg and regular is 22 mpg. Say you drive 22K miles per year. Regular you use 1000 gallons and HH you use 700 gallons (approx). So you'd save 300 gallons or about $900 per year.

Maybe now that gas is $3 it makes more sense. At $1.50 it'd be $450 per year.

But figure you're driving. Unless you do alot of city driving it probably does't make sense. Highway it's probably not much better mileage than the Pilot.
