Replying to: camrytpa (Aug 08, 2008 7:08 am) 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.

Replying to: troylikesbikes (Aug 08, 2008 10:22 am) 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. |

Replying to: pat (Aug 08, 2008 6:58 pm) Lifetime consumption would be: 72926 Miles - 2790.632 Gallons = works out to 26.132 mpg lifetime (added 23.8 gallons by the above method) This would be all driving - I'm pretty much a 'lead foot' - often driving 80 when on the highway. Tires generally in a decent range but not at the +2 PSI semi/overinflated range...oh, and I always use synthetic oil. My early documentation on the oil seems to show a 1-1.5mpg increase solely from that. I've always generally filled my tank and then after it clicks, I tried to add a bit more - not for this forum but just to get a good feel for how the car was doing. I do have one extended trip between 11/22/2005 & 11/27/2005 where I'd driven right around 2000 miles (2022) and tried to max out the gas going in just to get the mileage. 11/22/2005 16704 16.187 $33.01 11/22/2005 17019 10.26 $20.51 11/23/2005 17334 10.51 $21.00 11/26/2005 17680 13.30 $25.01 11/26/2005 18155 14.95 $29.00 11/26/2005 18430 8.5 $16.00 11/27/2005 18726 9.0 $18.00 Looks like 30.39687 mpg including what was abysmal fuel efficiency going there. I believe that late in the year the fuel mixtures were different from the summer months AND the trip up to Kansas City from Florida was mostly uphill after I got past St Louis...and I generally did 80mph+ when feasible. Recently did a trip of 822 miles - the datapoints were: 6/10/2008 68393 14.8 $59.00 6/11/2008 68833 12.18 $47.00 6/15/2008 69215 14.906 $59.00 822 miles - 27.086 gallons approximately 30.34788 mpg For what's generally my city driving, here's my last 30 days or so: 6/30/2008 70570 10 $40.00 7/6/2008 70852 14.75 $59.00 7/12/2008 71244 14.11 $57.00 7/18/2008 71676 14.03 $56.00 7/25/2008 72034 14.94 $59.00 8/1/2008 72457 7.72 $30.00 8/3/2008 72529 9.8 $38.00 8/8/2008 72926 14.89 $56.00 All this is mostly on flat ground (Jacksonville, FL). Looks like I'm averaging 26.1 mpg. Mike

Replying to: fornax (Aug 12, 2008 6:39 am) Individual fillup's aren't as reliable as multiple consecutive fillups. Incidentally, as I started above, I do have every fill-up logged. The lifetime average I posted is pretty much what it is with city/highway combined. |

To another owner who may bask in the warmth of steady 35 mpg efficiency. The wife whined at its beige-ness, its cloth interior, its downright efficient manner, its regular single CD stereo. For the record, the final highway tank ( ran back and forth across the state at 70mph a weekend ago ) was 41 mpg. That included Eisenhow Tunnel and 12,000' of elevation climb TWICE. I shall now move over to the TSX forums and see how they are doing. Undoubtedly with their lower profile tires, +40HP, auto trannys and pretensions of sportiness they are getting 10 or 12 mpg.  PS: I am still working on getting all of the Camry data into a JPEG, I know Excel can do it but I haven't figured out how yet.

Replying to: troylikesbikes (Aug 13, 2008 2:39 pm) If you want.....post the file somewhere I can download it, and I'll see if I can convert it for you. Can email me at kiawah  carspace.com with download instructions. We used to be able to send attachments via the carspace email address, but I've had problems in the last month trying to do that...and don't know if a change was made by Edmunds restricting the mail attachments somehow.
