#31 of 930 2006 Camry LE 4 cyl by roadturtle Oct 24, 2005 (2:39 pm)
My first month of 90 % city driving. First tank 26 mpg. Second tank 23 mpg. So far so good.
#32 of 930 ...2000 SE-V6... by ezshift5 Oct 26, 2005 (12:03 pm)
...5-spd manual. Between the two Californias - using I-5 - 32 has been the usual number since 5/2000. Lately, another white coupe - with one more gear to offer - has been seen in my garage.   Using the approach noted in previous posts - slowing to 65 - MPG has indeed climbed above 32 on the newer coupe. Hard looks, flip-offs and abrupt cut-ins nonwithstanding, it's a sign of the times................   best, ez.
#33 of 930 2005 Camry XLE 4-cylinder, 5-speed auto by 210delray Oct 26, 2005 (6:15 pm)
Drive to and from Pittsburgh from central Virginia, on interstates and 2-lane back roads, max 70 mph (permitted in West Virginia): 31 mpg to Pgh, and 32 mpg on return trip (filled up 80 miles from home).   On a stretch of I-70 in western MD on the way home, I had the cruise set at 65 mph in the right lane, and a steady parade of vehicles, almost nose to tail, passed on by in the left lane going at least 80.

Purchased my Camry about 2 months ago. Great car, 3rd Camry I've owned. Previously had a 92 and a 89.   Just filled up today; - 265 Miles - 14 Gallons - 18.93 mpg   99% city driving, currently have 1300 miles on the car. Best mileage to date was 27.5, mix of 50/50 city/hwy driving.   Hopefully mileage will improve as car breaks in. I drove it very carefully first 1000 miles, just as the manual directed. Still drive it easy as I baby my cars to try and make them last a long time. Replies to this message: lmacmil (Nov 02, 2005 3:39 pm) guill (Nov 03, 2005 3:27 am)

Replying to: guill (Oct 30, 2005 10:24 am) You can't get a realistic picture of the mileage on one tankful. Keep track for 4 or 5 tankfuls and see what it is. FWIW, I'm getting 18-20 around town with my 3.3 liter V6 so I would expect the 4 to do at least low 20s. Replies to this message: guill (Nov 03, 2005 3:27 am)

Replying to: lmacmil (Nov 02, 2005 3:39 pm) I have checked the mileage every time I've filled up ... which has probably been only 5-6 fillups since purchase. Mileage in city has consistently been between 18-20 mpg. I live in DC so probably some of most severe city driving conditions ... couple that with many short trips (less than 2 miles) and I don't really expect to see EPA on most of my city driving. Hopefully mileage will improve to at least 20+ on average.

Well I'm pretty disappointed in my Camry's fuel economy after a year and 12,000 miles. Not evan as good as the 97 Taurus V6 it replaced. Same drivers (both prudent), same routes, here are the results:                                    Taurus_____Camry Mixed suburban driving: 24 ______24 Steady highway, speed limit 31 ______28   So we went from a smooth, quiet, quick (more torque) V6 to a surprisingly noisy, buzzy 4, and buy more gas! Doesn't seem right, considering the Toyota reputation.   And the engine noise surprises me - this is the loaded model, so I would expect it to be quieter. I don't remember either of the Honda Civics I used to own making as much buzz.   BTW, in an earlier post, a guy stated he was getting XX mpg over the life of his Camry, as reported by his in-dash trip meter. If his meter is as optimistic as mine, no wonder his figures look so good. Gas mileage has to be figured at fill up time, with a calculator. My trip meter shows I'm averaging around 30 mpg ,which is a joke. Replies to this message: wvg (Mar 18, 2006 11:59 am)
#39 of 930 2005 Camry SE, 2.4L, 5-speed auto MPG report #2 by guill Nov 14, 2005 (6:03 am)
11/13/2005; - 297 Miles - 13.78 Gallons - 21.55 mpg   Approximately 90/10 city/highway miles. Was off a bit on last reported total mileage, currently have 1632 miles on car. Best mileage to date was 27.5, mix of 50/50 city/hwy driving.   Plan on changing the oil in a week or two. Will run new oil to 5000 miles, change again, and then stick with 5000 mile/6 month interval.

Replying to: 210delray (Jul 20, 2005 7:46 pm) My 06 4-Cyl SE has now 2200 miles and I consistently got about 26-28 actual miles on mixed driving (about 50/50 highway/city). The mileage is calculated based on trip-meter readings divided by the no. of gallons during refills. I have not yet gone on all highway driving.
