According to fueleconomy.gov, the hybrid Camry gets 80% better fuel economy in city driving over the non-hybrid, which is one heck of an improvement. Somehow the highway fuel economy for the hybrid shows a 36% improvement.
I suppose I never knew how much the brakes were used on the highway test circuit. My assumption was not much, as I never touch the brakes on the highway.
