We actually hit 56 miles to the gallon on our drive from Peterborough, New Hampshire down to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina with our 2026 Toyota Camry hybrid. Our Camry usually averages between about 48 and 56 miles to the gallon.
What a difference from the 2016 GMC Acadia’s usual 18 to 21 miles per gallon on previous trips!
We thought about it more this time since gasoline is the highest we have ever seen it in both our lives in the United States. The price we paid for gasoline during this trip ranged from $3.95 to $4.89. It’s better than a dollar a gallon more on average since Trump started his Iran war. Unfortunately, groceries have been on the rise as well, most likely as a result of the rising fuel costs.
The best milage I have gotten from either vehicle has been when using cruise control. Obviously the cars are better than I am at managing gasoline.
