Replying to: kiawah (Aug 13, 2008 8:06 pm) Hi kiawah. I haven't heard of such a change, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. If you want to, you can ask in the CarSpace! discussion. Someone who knows should see it and respond.

#890 of 930 Another 2005 SE 3.3L V6 update by lmacmil Aug 17, 2008 (12:38 pm)
Did a weekend trip to Buffalo, 916 total miles, only 30 miles city driving plus 3 miles of stop/go in construction (went 5 miles in 25 min and according to the GPS, 7 min of the 25 were standing still), 28.33 mpg.   I now have records for the last 3471 miles, most of which were freeway, typically cruising at 70 mph. Avg mpg is 28.24.
#891 of 930 A big run... by drem Sep 28, 2008 (5:26 pm)
It's been a while since I have posted. My 1999 Camry is still posting lower than normal mileages. Long runs at 72mph w/CC used to give a solid 36-37 mpg, but now the mileages range all over from 32.5 to 35mpg on the same trips I have always been taking. My mechanic can't locate an obvious cause, but I am not going to start replacing computers, O2 sensors, etc. without good cause.   I thought it might be varying ethanol concentrations, but I took my 2004 Camry on the same trips twice and the mpg's on those two trips were 35.3 and 35.7 (normal)so it's not obvious that the fuel is the main culprit.   This weekend I took a round trip from Durham to Columbia and back in the 2004. I pumped the tires to 35psi and set the CC at 66 mph. (There was a little 60-65mph around the beltline). 323 miles up and 325 miles back with one cold start and a small side trip to the mall. 648 miles overall on one one tank and consumed 15.50 gallons filler cap to filler cap at the same pump. Overall mpg was 41.8. The low fuel light never came on...   This is my third long run with the 2004 at 66 mph now. My mileages were 40.0, 40.4 and 41.8. Interestingly, the two lower runs were on the 'open' road with little traffic. This weekends run was with plenty of traffic. Was the higher mpg due to a lot of being sucked along by all the rest of the cars that were going 10mph faster than me? Maybe...   Drem
#892 of 930 45-50 miles is the sweet spot in Camry... by waltchan Oct 22, 2008 (11:44 am)
Based on the transmission shifts in 2007+ Camrys, the most fuel-efficient point appears to hit between 45 to 50 miles at around 1,500 RPM. Anything above 50 miles, the RPM raises a lot. What's the actual MPG if driving 45-50 miles constantly for one hour with cruise on? Replies to this message: drem (Oct 24, 2008 1:15 pm) waltchan (Oct 26, 2008 10:51 pm)

Replying to: waltchan (Oct 22, 2008 11:44 am) I have made one long run at 60 mph and got 44 mpg. I have no idea about any runs at 45-50 mph. Actually, I don't know of anywhere around me where I could drive, safely and continuously at 45-50 mph so I could not help you by making such a run.   Other people have recorded 50mpg in Accords and Camrys driving 55 mph. I suspect that's about the best you would see. Driving at 1500 rpm is not very efficient in terms of manifold vacuum and thermal efficiency for an internal combustion engine. I think suspect that you might actually get less than 55 mpg at 45 mph.   drem

Replying to: waltchan (Oct 22, 2008 11:44 am) It is indeed the sweet spot. I drove 100 miles today on highway at 50 mph constantly, and I am getting an astounding 44 MPG on highway, and it only has 650 miles on the odometer. Perhaps it can go more.

Replying to: kiawah (Aug 08, 2008 10:35 am) I do have Michelin "Energy" MXV4S8's tires in my 2009 Camry LE. Only the Japanese-made Camry get them. The USA-made Camry get Bridgestone. Nice to hear it improves MPG. Replies to this message: kiawah (Oct 27, 2008 3:13 am) mcdawgg (Oct 27, 2008 8:12 am) waltchan (Oct 27, 2008 2:36 pm)

Replying to: waltchan (Oct 26, 2008 10:54 pm) Not true, unless something has changed.   I had Michelin Energy's on my American made 2007 LE. Have since replaced them with a different Michelin. Replies to this message: mcdawgg (Oct 27, 2008 8:12 am) waltchan (Oct 27, 2008 2:36 pm)

Replying to: kiawah (Oct 27, 2008 3:13 am) Same here - '07 USA built CE - Michelin Energy's .
