NX-h mpg on the highway ?

I am looking for NX h owners experience with actual MPG experienced on long interstate drives - the current Lexus EPA estimates are 37 mpg on the highway. I have spoken with hybrid savvy folks who suggest that actual mileage can be higher with moderate speeds, ECO mode, max use of regen braking, etc. Any thoughts on things that have worked to beat the 37 mpg ?

I jump started another hybrid

I used my new 2026 Camry LE to jump start a friend's Honda Accord hybrid, and it worked fine. I later found out you're not supposed to do that. My car drives fine for now, but could this have potentially damaged the battery or electronics that would show up later?

Phev owner is wondering about high water crossings

There's flooding in my area, and we need to cross a road with standing (not moving) water.

Obviously hydrolocking the engine would be disasterous, so going slowly would be important.

And then it hit we that we could just electric though it, again slowly... with me walking ahead with a yardstick to check depth levels.

Has anyone heard of someone doing something like this? The water level is just under the height of the bumper. We know that road well, there are no dips under that water.
