Replying to: caaz (Jul 29, 2008 3:18 pm) Well - a) unless you have a manual transmission, you aren't going 35 mpg in any automatic camry. If you do, like Troy's manual, you might. b) 200 miles driving of trying to "hypermile" at 60 mph doesn't show anything due to gross errors in refill volume of such a short trip; and you wouldn't be able to get "well over 35 mpg" in that or any other situation. The claims here are made for people going 65-70 mph and getting 30, 35, or 40 in routine driving. Sure, you might come up with an "apparent" 30 or 35 in one tank, but that isn't the true mileage. I don't put any stock whatsoever in a 200 mile drive, so no thanks. Now, if you were to drive 5,000 consecutive miles (mostly freeway, not throwing out the lower mpg tank records)- and keep the records (odometer readings, every receipt of gas), and show 35 mpg, then that's another story. But claiming something on 200 miles is not a true test of "real world" mpg. Lots of people drive 90% freeway - but none of them claim such long term high mileages as their average mpg. What people do claim is that every once in a while they calculate on single tankful that they get thirty this and that. c) I'm not "doubting" - I am making a statement of fact, such as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, so does a camry get 26-28 on pure freeway. Perhaps a little more (or less, if you are so unlucky to have bought those 5 speed automatics), but not much. Maybe 32 on a pale minority of a few vehicles, and that's a rarity, attributed to some factor about those particular cars that has yet to be identified. But not 35, and not 40 mpg. Not on an automatic.

caaz Please read my posts. I know the Camry can get 40 mpg and 35 is a piece of cake. No need to convince me.

Based on the information contained within this forum, you are doing no such thing, as all independantly available information has shown to date. Your statement doesn't even apply to 6 cylinder Camrys for that matter. speculation: a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing (usually with little hard evidence) Strikes me as a little closer to the definition of whats been going on. |

2007 Camry LE 4 cyl Auto. Averaged 36 mpg on Hwy driving only, at about 65mph. Yes, I tried it both ways (fill the tank up to the max vs stop at the first click). Both yielded similar results over a 1000+ miles total trip. Light wind, 4 adults and luggage, Tires at max psi as per manual (sorry I forget the amount - 36psi?) BTW, we haven't done the TSB to reprogram the engine/transmission yet (Jan '07 build).

In 15,000 miles of Camry driving ( 2007, 2AZ-FE, 5-sp stick ) this is my second partial tank of ONLY city driving. I filled up on June 01, and Aug 05. I drove 270.4 city miles in that time. Fillup to 1st click was 9.7 gallons, fuel at the neck was 10.00. 27.0 mpg, no trip longer than 10 miles, most <5 miles. All warm summer weather ( I've noticed seasonal variation in the 2005 2AZ-FE auto before, but have not quantified seasonal variation yet in the 2007 ). |
