Is the 2008 Toyota Highlander-Hybrid electric or gas?

The 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is a hybrid vehicle. This means it uses both gasoline and electricity to power the engine.

Here's how it works:

* It has a gasoline engine that powers the car primarily.

* It also has an electric motor that assists the gasoline engine during acceleration and provides power for low-speed driving.

* The electric motor is powered by a battery pack that is recharged by the gasoline engine and through regenerative braking (where energy is captured from braking).

So, while it's not solely electric, it does have a significant electric component, making it more fuel-efficient than a purely gasoline-powered car.
