Well I just got home from the dealer with a 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid. Only has 5,000 miles and was in the local dealer's "Cab" service so it was driven very lightly as only a worker drove it. And they listed it wrong and they had to sell it to me for only $23,995 which was perfect and was in my budget and has never been wrecked.
All I have been able to get is 30 MPG but I am trying, but it's double my Explorer.

Welcome to the club!!!
Don't worry about the mileage. A lot depends on your route, distance, elevation and temperature. I wonder at times if some of us don't check to see if the stars are aligned correctly before we leave.....
As you learn to drive the car your mileage will improve. Just read, ask questions and watch your mpg go higher. As you already know, it's a LOT better than you were getting before.....

Add your car and location to your profile. It will come up on your posts in the upper right.
Welcome! ... and don't worry about the mileage too much, you will learn fast what works and what doesn't. If you want to go the extra distance (no pun intended), there are lots of tips here to improve your driving efficiency.

Thanks everyone!
It's a 2009 Model, Metallic Grey. With the upgraded alloy wheels and the 6 Disc CD changer. I am probably going to upgrade it to leather in the future.
Question though. My Explorer had a Viper 5900 series remote starter alarm system. Can I have this installed to my Camry without messing up anything or is it not possible because of the smart key and it being a hybrid?
Here is some pics

Please take the HOOVER sticker off the back of the car, ruins the looks. Beautiful car, hope you enjoy it, we do ours.
All stickers and plate holders are off my cars, the dealer doesn't pay me to advertise for them.
