Well after a good run I was finally able to get out of the 4-runner. I said goodbye to a high monthly payment plus a tremendous gas hog for what it was being used for.

I traded it in for a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. Wow what a difference!!

Now will come the fun hybrid questions regarding how to best drive this thing. Does anyone know of a site that has Camry specific Hybrid info? Or is anyone here knowledgeable on the Camry to answer some questions regarding the vehicle?

Here they are;

-Is it normal for the electric motor to whine when not in use? Once it is engaged through regen braking or in E Mode it goes silent.

-So far the best cruising range I have gotten from E Mode is 3 miles, is that normal?

-The batteries tend to discharge quickly when in E mode but recharge just as fast, therefore I'm guessing that is normal.

Any tips on what I can do that will not permanently alter the vehicle?

Thanks ...
