You've got your work cut out for you to top 30 mpg over a full tank of gas, but you're likely the first to try seriously hypermiling the Highlander hybrid. In order to maintain my average, I need many 55-60 mpg trips to offset the occasional 35 mpg trip. You'll need 40 mpg trips to offset the occasional low 20 mpg trip.

I doubt you'll see any measurable benefit to P&G until your glide times are twice as long as your pulse times.
