That is another bonus by owning a TCH. That's something we overlooked when buying a hybrid car. I did own a '94 Corolla and put pads and shoes on it at 105,000 mile but could have easily drove them farther. I coasted a lot back then to help the Corolla get max gas mileage. Not that much of a worry now with the TCH. This is still the very best car I have ever owned, and what a nice time to own with with these high gas prices.
