Replying to: ray_h1 (Apr 18, 2006 9:28 am) I will be going from Indiana across I-80 to New Jersey, then up the Hudson River valley and over to New Hampshire, back across Mass and NY to Niagara Falls then back thru Canada and Michigan. Lots of driving (we've done it before but not for about 15 years) but we have so many people and things to stop and see along the way, flying is not an option. Look for my report in August

Here is my complete mileage table through today: Fillup no. ODO Gallons MPG 1: 340.0 12.445 27.32 2: 401.1 13.030 30.78 3: 381.3 12.223 31.20 4: 481.9 15.384 31.32 Totals 1604.3miles 53.082 gals 30.22 mpg As you can see with each tank mileage is getting better. The first tank had more city driving, the last 3 tanks almost all highway. The trip computer had me at 34 mpg at this last fillup, so it is off by 2.68 mpg. It is possible that this last fillup, being a rather slow filling nozzle, filled up a bit more than usual.

1974 miles / 67.803 gals = 29.11 mpg (70/30 highway/city). You have to drive really slow on the highway in order get a good number. I mean at the speed limit - 65mph.

Replying to: glanwin (Apr 20, 2006 10:42 pm) Would it not be much safer if people stayed within or close to the speed limit? There are many freeway accidents shown on TV caused by drivers cutting in and out of traffic. Some speeding big rig will tap the brakes to avoid rear ending the reckless drivers...thus causing the double or triple trailer truck to jack knife and dozens of vehicles get caught in the collision...closing down the entire freeway for hours.

Replying to: njerald (Apr 21, 2006 3:41 pm) As for the I4 being overworked and the V6 being more efficient, I would not say "not a clue." This is a very real issue in heavy non-aerodynamic vehicles where the I4 is pushed to its limits thus eating more fuel than the larger engine. Probably not the case with the Camry. I suspect the 6 spd is helping the V6 mileage and thanks to those with '07 Camrys for posting real world numbers.

Replying to: 96gc1owner (Apr 22, 2006 8:44 am) The 3.3 liter had lower EPA ratings because it was an older engine. I have been unable to achieve the 3.3 liter highway rating of 29 mpg at normal freeway speeds (70 mph) on my 2005. |

| I forgot to say the Camry is a 4 cyl LE. We took it to dealer several times in first few years complaining of poor gas mileage and never got any satisfaction. I still feel there is something not working correctly (transmission/oxygen sensor/dragging brakes) but the dealer did not take the time to find it, and until recently, the cost to have it looked at independently could never be recovered in lower fuel costs. I drive very conservatively, and got better than advertised mileage on a Saturn we recently replaced (consisitently almost 30 mpg driving the exact route I now get 18 or so on the Camry.) Those two cars are not that different in weight to cause that big a difference. I would be interested to see a comparison of where each car was manufactured (Japan/Canada, etc) to see if the Camrys getting better mileage predominately originated in one over the other. We settled for a Canadian car when we had hoped to get a Japanese one because we could not wait for a car at the time. | |
