fact: a statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened;
 
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.
 
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.

re #B......... ive listed MORE than 5,000 miles of records here....and yes... IT IS routine driving for me... I do the drive twice a week... fill up exactly the same way each time..and posted all my findings... they equal out well over 35 mpg at the 65 to 70 you think is proper criteria... i listed almost 15,000 miles of my drives... id say that makes for a pretty accurate...non 200 mile jaunt, set of facts thats absolutely states that my 03 camry indeed gets well over 35 mpg. you asked for 5k worth.. i tripled it and posted results... . It will get over 35 all day... everyday..until i break 75 mph. And it really appears that troys manual does even better when i compare his notes. I did 850 miles a week for 17 or 18 weeks to substantiate my findings, until a few in here said enough already...we've heard enough... then i stopped posting.. but almost 4 months worth of findings proves an 03 AUTOMATIC will indeed do what you wont believe.
 
i guessed yopu missed the posting when i tested my wifes much heavier 06 Sienna v6 and got 33.6 mpg... trust me.. my camry does much better than that and i gave you 17 records to prove it.
 
P.S. Sorry Dudley, i re-read some of ur postings, its cool

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).

I shall add your numbers to the database. They sound pretty good.

2nd City Mileage DataPont by troylikesbikes

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 ).

Not really. I just list every posters mileage, highway, city, year, name, in an Excel spreadsheet. I then dump all the information into Access to do filters on what I am interested in seeing, and then I dump that filtered information back into a statistical package to check and test the distributions for a particular subset.
 
Are you interested in anything in particular? I think I can make a big JPEG or PDF out of the spreadsheet and just post it to some webspace, and then link to that.
 
Let me experiment a little.

Troy,
 
I'm looking for a set of replacement tires for our 2007 LE 4 cyl, and come to realize that my OEM tires are Michelin "Energy" MXV4S8's which are substantially more expensive than many other tires, even other Michelins. In looking at the Michelin website, they claim to 'go further on each tank of gas', as compared to other touring comparison tires. The local chain tire shops claim that it's a difference in the sidewalls as to how they are made which yields less rolling resistance, but doubt that any of them are really in the know. I'll probably just buy a set of Michelin Pilot Exalto's since the vehicle next month is going to be used primarily by my daughter in city driving. But I'm beginning to wonder if these 'energy' tires really DO make a difference in MPG, and that might be a contributing factor in why some posters have slightly less mpg experiences than others.
 
Perhaps I'll take the car from her and do a highway run in the future, and see what it did to my mileage.
