Replying to: dmtucker (Nov 08, 2005 7:06 pm) I owned 2 different camry's --an 03 le 4cyl and an 04 xle 4cyl and agree that these 4 cyl engines are surprisingly noisy and buzzy. In fact I just traded the 04 xle 4 cyl for an 06 xle v6, and what a difference. I always thought the extra money for the v6 was too much, but not any more. this car drives like a dream and the trip computer seems accurate on this car. (way too optimistic on my 04) I only have about 700 miles on it but have been getting around 23-24 mpg 50/50 city highway.

Replying to: 210delray (Mar 15, 2006 7:16 pm) I think I'm beginning to understand, 210delray:   You live in a small town, probably minimal traffic at all, you need your car to commute, and so your reports (in my opinion - and I'm sure you'll address this) vary from alot of freeway driving to a heckuvalot of freeway driving. 22-23 mpg in small town driving, with someone going to work 5 days a week - I'm thinking there is some freeway driving in those city tankfuls. Is that true?   It will take 4-6 weeks to get you some comparative numbers on shell gas (my current tank is Arco).   Its not a matter of "believing"; you didn't record your relative freeway and highway driving. your 27 mpg , if predominantly freeway, is not out of line with the predominantly freeway mileage I get (for me, I would get that in 85% or more freeway). I think I drive more city than you.   As for your posts of 30-35 mpg. I have three things to say. One is WOW. The second is that is your best mpg, not your average (27 mpg). And the third is that your indication of 20-23 gallons of refill, which exceed the specification of 18.5 gallons, gave me some pause. I've run tanks dry on rare occasions, but I've never been able to put much more in than the specification. I look forward to your explanation/response.

Replying to: phd86 (Mar 22, 2006 8:23 pm) You are not reading my posts carefully enough. When I reported 20-23 gallons, these were for two consecutive fillups, since you and others rightfully point out that one fillup isn't a reliable indicator, especially if it's only a topoff. The most I've ever gotten into the tank in one fill is about 16 gallons.   My town and surrounding county is relatively small (about 100,000 people), and my commute is mostly highway, away from town. However, my wife regularly makes short trips into town, and there is traffic (not like Manhattan obviously, but there is still a gauntlet of traffic lights). So the 22-23 mpg was the mileage recorded when she was driving.   Now she has the '05 Camry, and I'm using the '04. I plan to update my mpg ratings soon, when I have the time.

I haven't yet refilled the tank since returning from NYC (waiting for gas prices to come down )   And yes, each entry in the post above represents a fillup. I even topped off the tank myself in New Jersey both times (the "full-service" state), because the "attendants" were too busy gabbing and exchanging gobs of cash.   I've gone something like 400 miles since, and the gauge is showing about 3/8 full.   I hope this is enough detail for you. Any more, and my wife will have me committed for OCD!
#127 of 930 2005 Camry SE, 2.4L, 5-speed auto MPG report #12 by guill Mar 25, 2006 (4:02 am)
3/24/2006: - 298.8 Miles - 14.72 Gallons - 20.29 mpg            All city miles            Total miles on car--4736   I definitely did not achieve EPA ratings on this tank. I attribute that to the fact that my wife put most of the miles on the car during this most recent period; she drives a bit more aggressively than I do. Also the weather has been very cold and many of our trips were 2 miles or less ... cold weather and short trips will contribute significantly to lower mileage. I plan on changing out the oil again at 5000 miles, and then every 6 months/5000 miles.
#128 of 930 1999 Camry MPG by suydam Mar 25, 2006 (9:55 am)
I bought my college daughter a '99 Camry (4 cyl) with nearly 100,000 miles on it. Her college is over 500 miles away. When she told me she drove there with gas to spare I didn't believe it, but she has done so several times since. it routinely gets 30 mpg on the highway. A great car for a college student who hasn't got a lot of $$$ for gas.
#129 of 930 2005 Camry SE, 2.4L, 5-speed auto MPG report #13 by guill Apr 07, 2006 (4:22 am)
4/06/2006: - 328.1 Miles - 15.11 Gallons - 21.71 mpg             95/5 (highway/city miles)             Total miles on car--5064   Changed oil at 4984 miles--Mobil 1 synthetic 5w/30 and WIX oil filter. MPG is still below EPA city estimates--I attribute this to multiple short trips (2 miles or less). Overall I'm still extremely pleased with the car.
