Replying to: glanwin (Apr 20, 2006 10:42 pm) The Camry V6 probably gets better gas mileage at higher speeds than the 4 cyl because the V6 is not being overworked. Most of the Camry owners I know have chosen the 4 cyl...but those who got the V6 will never get another 4 cylinder Camry.      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.

Not a clue!!!   It's possible at 100+ mph when the I4 is not in Overdrive but that is not normal HIGHWAY driving.

Replying to: njerald (Apr 21, 2006 3:41 pm) Do you think the '07 V6 might be getting better hwy MPG because it has a 6 spd rather than a 5 spd? I believe the '06 model 3.3 V6 and Avalon with this 3.5 motor had 5 spd autos and are rated a bit lower than the '07.   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. Replies to this message: lmacmil (Apr 23, 2006 6:27 am)
#148 of 930 2005 Camry by typesix Apr 22, 2006 (3:33 pm)
Consumer Reports April 2006 reported that auto 2005 4 cyl Camry had following mpg: 40 mpg 55 mph 35 mpg 65 mph 30 mpg 75 mph

Replying to: 96gc1owner (Apr 22, 2006 8:44 am) Both Avalon and 2007 Camry V6 are rated 22/31 EPA. The final drive ratios are virtually equal, the Camry has a higher (numerical) axle ratio but lower (numerical) 6th gear.   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.

Replying to: lmacmil (Apr 17, 2006 12:26 pm) I have a 2000 Camry and have always been disappointed at the mileage I get, which is about what you are getting 17-18 in the winter and a bit better in summer months, but always under 20. The car is rated at 23 city and 29 highway. We've never gotten 29 on the highway, usually only 25-26. I'll be interested to see if you do better with the premium on your trip. But if you are travelling west, we always get better coming back east as you usually have tail winds in that direction, so all the difference may not be due to the gas you use.
#151 of 930 Update on 2000 Camry by janderson8 Apr 27, 2006 (8:00 am)
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.

Replying to: glanwin (Apr 20, 2006 10:42 pm) I am EXTREMELY disappointed with the gas mileage I am getting with this vehicle. I can't find what I wrote, but I thought I was averaging 24 or so MPG in a typical week - two weeks ago I got 22 mpg on a road trip - granted, I was driving 80-85 but it was clear traffic (and no I don't cut people off). Last week, I noticed I was down to 20 mpg. I was told to try the high end gasoline, so I shelled out the big bucks and am now getting between 18.5 and 19.5 mpg. When I called Toyota, all they could tell me was to never use the A/C. I would NEVER have bought a car with that poor gas mileage. Is it just me, this particular vehicle, or this model in general????

#153 of 930 Mileage..YMMV! by faldoc Apr 29, 2006 (5:49 am)
My V6 was getting between 27 to 31 mpg, mainly on the highway. I was extremely careful with the accelerator. When I started to push it a bit it went down noticeably. If you drive above 70 mph then your mileage will suffer. Try keeping the speed to the speed limits posted. Also, pull away from a stop gently, and do not tailgate, or rush to red lights. Foot off the gas pedal if you think the light will change. I will hazard to guess you mileage will get better. My mileage is not being measured while the car awaits repair from the infamous transmission "snap ring" issue.

Replying to: keisl (Apr 28, 2006 7:02 pm) My '07 XLE 4 cyl. just finished it's 3rd tank. I'm happy.   26.52 average mpg for 1,100 miles of 60% city driving.   The tanks averaged from 26.14 - 26.82 mpg which probably reflects how full the different fillups were.   The car MPG indicator has averaged 27.4 mpg which is farther off from actual of my last 3 cars.   My A/C just started running more about 1/2 way thru the last tank.   I get 21-22 mpg indicated (which probably means 1 mpg less actual) after filling for stop and go city driving until I drive on the highway.   Haven't got a 100% highway reading yet.
