I was looking at MPG ratings for the 2018 Camry hybrid models and was wondering why the LE got better ratings. This is what I read: " The LE model gets better gas mileage because it has lighter weight Li-ion batteries than the SE and XLE models which have the older heavier NIMH batteries." I...

I have used a product called “ Goof Off “ it did a great job of removing an adhesive on a plastic Ipass transponder.

Thanks to all for your opinions and advice! I will probably go with newton CD8 suggestion and wait for a coupon.
