We've been told to optimize mileage on a hybrid by accelerating gradually, coasting when possible, and braking gently. After my first experience with Adaptive Cruise Control (in a new Camry LE), I wonder whether the car's strategy for dealing with traffic on a highway is likely to match or exceed that of a careful driver. Will ACC yield comparable mileage to driving without it, with all else held constant? Or does the computer prioritize returning to the set speed as soon as possible, with the result that fuel efficiency suffers a bit?

I've reread the manual for my 2026 LE, but I'm still scratching my head. Apparently two out of three possible settings are displayed for Trip A or Trip B - miles driven, MPG, average speed - but I can't figure out how to select the two I want. A long press on "OK" in that screen just resets to zero. And when I cursor over to Settings, then Vehicle Info, I don't see the Trip displays.

Brand-new 2026 Camry LE. I'm a gentle driver - no sudden starts or braking - and it's not very cold out, yet after a couple of days of driving around town, it's showing my MPG to date in the 20s. Please tell me this will improve.

Am I correct in thinking that connecting Google Maps to one's system via Bluetooth sends the audio for navigation to the car's speakers but that it's impossible to send the map itself to the screen (without using Android Auto)?

(I have a 2026 Camry, by the way.)
