Comments by "rondhole" (@rondhole) on "How to Get Better Gas Mileage out of your Toyota and Lexus Hybrid" video.
It is very obvious, that we need to be smart enough to buy a hybrid. With easily $800 Km per year when 15k miles per year driving vs nonhybrid, we have enough money for a new hybrid battery after about 4 years. If we keep it for only 8 years, the resale value is also higher than nonhybrid. With Radar cruise control behind Semi trucks or buses, we can get easily 70 mpg on the interstate. Trucks never brake suddenly and we always have enough time to brake even when the Radar malfunctions. Just make sure there is no other truck behind us. Pulse and glide in city traffic also really help, we can get 50mpg or more that way without annoying other drivers, just match the speed with the traffic lights.
