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).

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
#921 of 930 Question by montecristo Sep 01, 2009 (4:49 pm)
I need help from all the math whiz out there.   My lease is up and I need to purchase a car within the next 7 days. My options are Camry LE 4-cyl ($19,900+TTL, 0% for 60 months) and Toyota Prius II($23,200, 7% for 60 months). I'm putting 0% down.   Camry seems to be the right choice but I'm driving 2500 miles a month. With the gas price of $3.25, will be saving more money by buying the Prius?

Replying to: montecristo (Sep 01, 2009 4:49 pm) What is the assumed mpg that you are going to use on the two vehicles?   And is it assumed that you are going to have the vehicles for 60 months?   Is that amount of the vehicle the total amount being financed....or is there tax and other stuff that you haven't indicated what they are?

Replying to: montecristo (Sep 01, 2009 4:49 pm) It isn't just the mileage although that's important. Some people love how the Prius drives but others hate it. Drive them both and see which you find the most comfortable, because it sounds like you spend a lot of time in your car. There is a Camry Hybrid too, which you can get 1 or 2 years old for the price of a new 4 cyl Camry.
#924 of 930 Re: Question [kiawah] by montecristo Sep 01, 2009 (8:01 pm)
Replying to: kiawah (Sep 01, 2009 4:52 pm) I'm not assuming any mpg for the two but I guess that's what I'm asking. My commute is 95% freeway drive but about 30% of it is stop and go traffic. If you're familiar with socal i'm commuting from irvine to Los Angeles on I5. I'm going to keep the car for at least 4 years. I was leaning towards prius because I thought I'd save about 120 bucks on gas per month but that was based on 29mpg on camry. But it seems like some of you are getting 40+mpg. That means it's cheaper to own camry. Assuming everythings equal (in terms of $ to own) I want to get a prius. Replies to this message: kiawah (Sep 01, 2009 8:15 pm)

Replying to: montecristo (Sep 01, 2009 8:01 pm) Well but the prius is more expensive, and you are paying interest on the money: - for gas cost, advantage prius - for monthly loan cost of vehicle (including interest costs), advantage camry - for depreciation cost and loss of value at end of 60 months (ie, depreciation cost)......I don't know. I'd suggest research trade in values of 5 year old vehicles as a percentage of their purchase cost. Personally, I would probably not feel real comfortable buying a high mileage 5 year old prius.
