Good Morning All: Monday I traveled from Nothern New Jersey to the Philadelphia Airport, and then to Atlantic City, and then back home to Northern New Jersey. I averaged 31.9 MPG using 87 no-name fuel, and traveling at an average of 65mph. The vehicle performed GREAT! ---- At one point in the trip to Philadelphia, I had to move into the left hand lanes to go over the birdge and I pressed hard on the accelerator and the transmission down shifted smoothly and the vehicle accelerated like a rocket! I went from 65 to 80 in a second. The "up-shift" was equally as smooth! I would purchase another V6 Camry. My vehicle is 22 months old, and I have 37,000 + miles on it at the present time! ---- (I never had to have any warranty work performed on this vehicle!) ---- By this time next year, I will probably have between 88,000 to 90,000 miles! I will be looking at either a 2009 / 10 Camry, a Honda Accord or a Chevrolet Impala as a replacement vehicle. (My Camry is under warranty untill 100,000 miles, so as such, I will have 10,000 miles to find a replacement vehicle.) The Camry has Michelin tires. (The vehicle came with Bridgestone Tires, but I would not accept delivery until the dealer switched the Bridgestone for Michelin tires.) ----- I would not own a vehicle with either Firestone of Bridgestone tires. They are an accident looking for a place to happen! NOTE: The Buffet at Atlantic City was "GREAT"! Best regards to all! ------------------- Dwayne

Replying to: igr (Nov 23, 2007 6:34 pm) . Here is what had changed: 1) Had an engine short block replaced by dealer due to coolant leak 2) Switched to synthetic oil I'm still not filling the tank full and using amount of gas reported by pump to do my calculations. |

| hey fornax, i see you are getting around 30 mpg on your camry 4-cyl. i think you should able to get more mpg. my 2006 camry V6 get 27.56 mpg ( 95 % highway). I think i will get around 30 mpg this time. just got my car oil changed, new air filter,.. | |

| Well my odometer just hit 1600 miles on my 08 Solara SE hardtop 4cyl. automatic. MPG has been quite good so far. 1st tank avg. was 29.3mpg and now my 4th tank just returned 32.1 on a 90% highway trip to NJ and back from DC. I used the tried and true method of miles traveled divided by gallons filled. The MPG gauge read 31.3 mpg. Hopefully it will improve more as the powertrain breaks in further. | |

A couple of questions: 1) are you saying that the "Tank Avg" display is probably not an accurate MPG reading? should I just figure it the old-fashioned way of miles divided by gallons? 2) the first fill-up the tank avg. displayed 25.9; the second fill-up displayed 28.9; now it's only reading 23.4-yikes!!! I do a lot of short trip, city driving. I wondered if the brand of gas made a difference (1st was by dealer, 2nd was BP gas, 3rd was WaWa gas). I am bummed that I'm getting such a low reading right now--only have about 600 miles on it. 3) do those Michelin Energy tires (or others) really make a difference in MPG? Thanks for all your help--I have a lot to read through...........
