2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Fuel Economy Reduction

Asked by Guru2N6P5 Feb 29, 2020 at 04:23 PM about the 2006 Toyota Highlander Base

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hello,
I have a 2006 Highlander Hybrid and I have noticed (as recent as this week)
a decrease in my Highlanders Fuel economy from around 27 to 28 MPG in
the city/highway to 20 MPG. I reside in the city of Atlanta for a point of
reference. I was wondering what is the first item to check and or verify to
troubleshoot the rapid reduction in fuel economy. The battery indicators with
the hybrid battery on the dash all check out fine for the time being it's just the
fuel has decreased rapidly. I have 142,700 miles on the vehicle. The general
stuff like tire pressure etc has been checked etc.

Other than a tuneup and filter change I could only suggest checking the hybrid battery further.

Yes, I have regular tuneups and just had a oil change/filter change. Any idea how to check the hybrid battery?
