#911 of 930 Solara MPG by crazedcommuter Jul 14, 2009 (8:10 am)
Replying to: alan42 (Jul 04, 2009 10:54 pm) I drove to the Jersey Shore last week from West by god Virginia in the 08 Solara. Speeds were pretty much 70-80 mph on the highway until I hit NJ, then stop and go and boardwalk traffic for the remainder of the tank. I filled up with 513 miles on the odo and took 16.6 gal. of fuel for a 30.9 mpg on that tank. Computer read 31.8 mpg and is the closest reading to actual mpg that I've had since owning the car. Sunroof open most of the time on highway and A/C on during stop and go traffic. 7800 miles on car so far. I was hoping the 4cyl would get more mpg and hope it does as it breaks in further.

#912 of 930 Camry V6 city mileage by gpb59 Jul 15, 2009 (8:28 am)
I drive almost all city mileage and have an infiniti g35. I get 16 mpg at best. I'm considering a camry V6, what can I expect? Replies to this message: samiam_68 (Jul 15, 2009 9:29 am) 210delray (Jul 17, 2009 8:09 am) gpb59 (Jul 17, 2009 8:19 am) 210delray (Jul 17, 2009 8:28 am)

Replying to: gpb59 (Jul 15, 2009 8:28 am) You can expect about 20-22 MPG in a V6 Camry in city driving.

Replying to: gpb59 (Jul 15, 2009 8:28 am) Depends on how you define "city." I'd recommend renting a Camry V6 first to see how you do before shelling out money for a new car.   My wife is getting only about 20 mpg in a 4-cylinder 2005 Camry in our small town. But her average one-way drive is only about 5-7 miles, and there are several traffic lights along the way. Replies to this message: gpb59 (Jul 17, 2009 8:19 am) 210delray (Jul 17, 2009 8:28 am)

Replying to: 210delray (Jul 17, 2009 8:09 am) My commute is exactly the same, sometimes waiting times at the lights are long also. Acutally I'd probably only be buying this car if I can get a steal on 2009 with less 10k miles. There's one where I live with 3000 miles totally loaded with nav.

Replying to: gpb59 (Jul 17, 2009 8:19 am) So I'd conclude you'd see little improvement (if any) in gas mileage by switching from the G35 to the Camry V6. You'd have to make the trade based on other grounds (like getting top dollar for your G35 and getting the slightly used '09 Camry for a steal).
#917 of 930 Re: Solara MPG by crazedcommuter Aug 02, 2009 (4:26 pm)
Replying to: crazedcommuter (Jul 14, 2009 8:10 am) Came back from another jaunt to NJ beaches tonight with improved MPG. I changed the oil last week with 5W/20 Quaker State full synthetic and a Bosch filter. The oil was on sale at Wally World for $18 and with a $3 off coupon from Auto Zone the filter was $3. So for $21 I did a full synthetic change in about 10 minutes in my driveway. Anyway, I topped my tires to 35 PSI and took off. 518 total miles and filled 15.7 gal (topping off too) for an MPG of 32.99. Trip computer read 34.1. This is the best mpg thus far and I'm pleased. Solara now has just under 10k miles.

Replying to: crazedcommuter (Jul 02, 2009 3:52 pm) The point I would like to make is Toyotas dont get that good mpg. I mean it is not like they get 200 or 300 mpg. Nope only about 20 - 30 mpg. There are way too many on the road at a time. I have been riding a bike and I can judge when the price of oil will rise. Most people should just sit and dont drive. Like there has always been cars that can get 20- 30 mpg. The specific fuel consumption for an internal combustion engine has always been around 20-30 percent. It is a bit less for dodge than toyota because the dodge has a different cam and runs a bit slower. However the toyota does have a 5 speed transmission that you must shift a lot at every corner. Way too many extra trips everywhere by a lot of people. Way too many people with over revved engines. 2004 - 2009 could be listed as an auto war with thousands being killed in accidents.
#919 of 930 2005 SE V6 (3.3 liter) trip mileage by lmacmil Aug 20, 2009 (6:18 am)
2150 miles, mostly interstate with cruise set at 68-71 mph. One partial tank of around town driving. Overall 28.2 mpg (similar trip last year was 28.8). The highway only tanks averaged over 29 mpg.   This is the 3rd 2000+ mile trip in which I have averaged 28 or close. When I used to set the cruise at 73-74, mileage was 26 to 27. Highway mileage is very speed dependent.   I know this engine isn't available any longer but my figures show that with careful driving, one can meet or even exceed the EPA highway figures. Under the new procedure, this engine is rated at 18 city, 27 hwy.
#920 of 930 Camry Mileage Update by drem Aug 30, 2009 (1:44 pm)
This concerns my 2004 2.4A vehicle.   I continue to make 355 mile round trips to Charlotte every month or so. I enjoy the ride at a CC setting of 66-67 mph. I also enjoy the rock solid 40-40.5 mpg fuel mileage each and every time. This include one cold start each weekend.   I also make a couple trips to PA every year. The last one a couple weeks ago was at a CC of 72 gave an entirely expected 36.2 mpg. That was 506 miles up and 507 miles back. Fuel used was 14.0 gal up and 13.9 gal back.   A while back my normally identical performing 1999 2.2A was starting to get more erratic numbers of 32-35mpg, but that has since seemed to have come around to a consistent 35+mpg again. I don't really know what may have hurt the mileage or helped the mileage recover. I really didn't do anything but oil changes and manage tire pressure as normal...   Again, for the record, I get about 1.3-1.5 extra gallons in after the first click off until fuel shows in the filler pipe.   Mileage around town isn't very meaningful for me. My wife has a 7 mile highway commute each way to work and gets 25-26 mpg consistently. I drive all kinds of mild city and highway and get 25 mpg consistently.   Drem
