hybrid suv still doesn't get great mileage, better than a regular one, but not better than a car. [ Reply | More

Go to fueleconomy.gov and compare the hh to the accord. Go head, do it. [ Reply | More

I believe you, that site is horrible to navigate though.. surely a hybrid accord does better than the highlander hybrid. no need for so much space with only 2 kids. just my 2 cents for the OP. [ Reply | More

Hybrid cars get better mileage during city driving - ie stop and go, slow speeds, at highway speed they use gas the way any other car does. [ Reply | More

Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Not SUV, b/c it's built on car chassis. Not "cool" per se, but a great car that will last you for 150k miles or more. Gas mileage great for that type of car. Volvo wagon is also a good choice, but the gas mileage isn't great. [ Reply | More
