Looks like you can expect at least 31 MPG and as high as 45 MPG.

Just depends :).

Q: Anybody have an experience with Toyota Camry Hybrid cars?
We own a 2004 regular Toyota Camry & love it. We need to buy another used car as we have 3 kids and we're one car short. Any particular year that is an excellent model year for their hybrid car?
Any other used cars anyone can highly recommend. Want to spend around $10K-$12K, if possible.

A: Yes, Yahoo Autos had experiance with ALL Hybrids and found out that they don't save you money.

Most people buying a hybrid are assuming they will be the least expensive vehicle to operate but that is totally untrue. Yes they are very good on fuel mileage BUT you have to consider ALL costs, not fuel alone. When including all costs over a three year period no hybrid including the Prius even makes the top ten list of most economical cars as can be seen here:
http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/autos_content_landing_pages/1442/cheap-dates-the-10-least-expensive-cars-to-own/
The Chevy will be the most reliable on that list followed by the Smart car.

So if your plan is to save money on operating costs then choose one of the top ten most economical cars form the list and avoid all hybrids sense not even one of them made the top ten list.

The Camry you are driving now has been recalled for seat belts AND air bags so make an appointment with the dealer.

Q: Can I convert my Toyota Camry Hybrid to a plug-in?
I've seen articles about conversion kits to convert hybrids into plug-in hybrids. I haven't been able to find anything about converting the Toyota Camry Hybrid. I want to know who can do it and how much it will cost. thanks.

A: Not yet

Q: Is the Garmin Map Update 2009 dvd compatible with the 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid?
I recently purchased a 2009 Garmin map update for the gps in my car. I'm not entirely sure that it will be compatible with my 2007 Toyota camry hybrid.

A: Not unless you have an aftermarket-installed Garmin GPS in your TCH. The Toyota navigation system uses a proprietary navigation DVD. Updates occur about once a year, and you can only get them from a Toyota parts source.

In the US, a new DVD will be upwards of US$200.

However, in Europe/UK, you can see if the updates are worth it before you order a new DVD, and pricing is vaguely better... http://www.toyota-mapupdates.eu/

Q: How do you like your 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid?
Owners of 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid, how do you like it? And what stuff you don't like?

A: i don't own one but i've heard nothing but great things from owners. the gas mileage is great for a car of that size. quiet, refined, good handling, nice interior, nice option packages.

i hear the trunk is kinda smaller because of the battery.

Q: Why dose a toyota camry hybrid cost more that prius. you get better gas mileage in the prius (2010 50mpg)?
2010-toyota camry hybrid 34mpg
2010-toyota prius 50mpg
is there really a difference and if so what?

A: What makes you think that price should be determined based on mileage alone? Following that logic, a Prius should cost more than a Ferrari too. (Hint: It doesn't. You could buy a fleet of eight (or more!) Prius for the price of the cheapest new Ferrari (which gets a whopping 13mpg) that I could find.)

Camry is larger, it's a sedan (some people prefer that over the Prius hatchback), it has more power (not that anybody driving only on public roads needs it), and the bottom line: Toyota feels that the market will pay more for it, so they price it accordingly.

Q: How can I improve the trunk springs on my 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid?
The trunk lid on my 2007 Camry Hybrid won't stay up when opened while the car is parked facing uphill. This is a real problem where I live when unloading groceries, etc. Does anyone know how to make the springs stronger?

A: There should be replaceable hydraulic cylinders on either side, they snap in and out. Go to the auto parts store and tell them what they are for.

Q: Toyota Camry Hybrid or Toyota Corolla; Which gets better acceleration?
I'm just curious how the Camry Hybrid compared to the Toyota Corolla in acceleration and pick up. I heard the Camry Hybrid has less acceleration that a gas Camry, but I'm interested in how it compared to the Toyota Corolla.

A: These are based on 09 models..

4 cylinder Camry goes 0-60mph in 8.8 seconds
6 cylinder Camry goes 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds
Hybrid Camry goes 0-60 in 9.5 seconds

The Corolla does 0-60 in 8.9 seconds

Q: what should my decision making process be (steps) when buying the toyota camry hybrid? Why are these essential?
I am car illiterate and I want to buy this camry hybrid. What should my decision making process be so that I don't rush this? Why are these essential to have?

A: Go to cars.com .Look for all the dealers around you and send them all emails that you are interested to buy this toyota camry hybrid. Let them know the color,interior,auto or stick shift and everything you wanted for a car and ask them to email you back the "out the door" final price. And from there you should have gone to your Credit Union for a loan.

Q: Will the Toyota Camry Hybrid be overnight plug-in within a few model years?
If Toyota added some batteries, the Camry Hybrid could drive 25-40 miles per day without even running the engine, and would just be plugged in at home overnight to recharge. Anyone heard if Toyota is pursuing this/

A: no

Q: How much tax credit does a Toyota Camry Hybrid 2007 qualify for 2006?
(Toyota Camry Hybrid 2007 will be available in May 2006.)

A: If you get one of the first 3000-6000 (I'm not sure) hybrids from Toyota, you get up to $3000 tax credit.

Q: What kind of gas mileage are you really getting on your Toyota Camry Hybrid?
I know Toyota is publishing 40 mpg but that's using the notoriously inaccurate EPA method. Anyone actually measure it themselves?

A: According to the GreenHybrid.com Mileage Database, the Camry Hybrid is getting, on average, about 37 mpg, in a sample of 118 cars.

Not exactly what Toyota published, but certainly not bad for a midsize sedan, either.

Q: The Difference between a The Toyota Camry hybrid and the Camry sedan?
Both of the cars look exactly alike, can someone help me tell the difference.

A: I'm assuming that you're asking about cosmetic differences that you can see from the outside.

First are the hybrid badges on the rear and side of the car. The hybrid also has LED taillights (not any any other model until 2010 model where they are standard) and the lenses are different colored, all white on the portion that is on the truck lid. There is a relatively large protuberance on the rear deck lid which is a vent to cool the hybrid batteries. The grill is fully chrome with shiny chrome in the center section matte chrome colored rather than color-keyed or black in the other trim levels. The headlights are also tinted light blue in the area surounding the lenses.

Hope this helps.
