Pretty impressive numbers for a "normal" looking car.

Is the Li-ion battery the only efficiency difference between the LE and the NiMH trims? For the gen4 Prii, the Li-ion battery is 0.75kwh compared to the NiMH at 1.2kwh (but a smaller charge range used). If the Camry uses similarly sized batteries, it would be strange if that alone would account for the mileage increase. Only the Eco trim Prius gets better mileage with the Li-ion, the 3 trim has Li-ion and gets the same as the NiMH-using 1 and 2 trims.
