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.

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.

Replying to: keisl (Apr 28, 2006 7:02 pm) I can't explain why some get so much better mileage than others. We bought our Camry based on our son-in-law's reporting that he always got 22-24 in city and 30 or better on highway. We've never been able to break over 20 in city driving, and highway driving (which we do little of) seems to be around 25. We also would not have bought our Camry (a 2000 4 cyl LE) if we had known the mileage would be 20-25% under the rated mileage. I am very careful when driving not to jack rabbit start, to watch lights and slow down if a light is red, etc., so either something is wrong with the car or Toyota fudges their mileage stats a lot.

Replying to: janderson8 (Apr 29, 2006 1:45 pm) It's not Toyota's mileage number, it is the EPA's, good or bad.

Replying to: janderson8 (Apr 29, 2006 1:45 pm) Next time you take a highway trip, check your tires and set them at the proper pressure (probably around 31 psi) and top your tank off. Set your cruise at 70 (or whatever the speed limit is). Drive at least 200 miles the fill up and see what you get. If you can't get 30 mpg under those conditions, maybe there is something wrong.
