Hey, so some Japanese factory worker smuggled a kilo of blow in your heater system. How lucky are you????? Inhale, close your eyes, relax and float downstream!!! |

I have spent about an hour looking at messages here without finding one that seemed directly on the nose for me. I bought a 2007XLE used Camrym 2.4 liter engine, automatic with 27,000 miles on it. Ratings for the model suggest that I should be able to get up to 33 mpg on the road. I have driven it about 2500 miles. I am getting 22-23 mpg on a flat highway, using cruise control, sitting at 60 mpg. In town I am getting about 15-16 mpg. I am a good driver and usually am able to get at least the mileage predicted. So the dealer (honda) where I bought the car says, "Does it drive smoothly?" Yes "Are there any dash board lights on?. No Then there is nothing wrong with it. I say, I am getting 25% reduction in miles. That means there is something wrong. They say, Nope, nothing is wrong. So then i go to Toyota since it is still in warranty (though something supposedly expires at 30,000. They hook it up to their machine and say "there is nothing wrong." I say.... They say, well it is the ethanol we use here. I say, that is supposed to be 5-10% decrease, not 25%. They say, yes but it is winter. I say, yes, but we have only had one frost so far and the temperatures are mostly int he 50s. They say, that will cause the difference in mileage. While I can change a tire and used to change my own oil, I would rather be reading up and making some fancy recipe. I don't talk cars, motors or engines and I don't feel I have the language to argue these issues. Please, am I wrong in my expectations of mpg? On Friday, I take the car to the Honda dealer for a check up. Can you help me figure out what to say if I am not wrong. Also, I read about some TSB(in my world that means tablespoon of butter) that appears to have been related to 2007 Camrys--but it sounds like it only applies to a manual. Many thanks for any help rendered. |

Replying to: 4ruth (Dec 08, 2008 7:12 pm) Brakes dragging....?? At a constant, even, 60MPH what is the engine RPM...?? |

Replying to: 4ruth (Dec 08, 2008 7:12 pm) No, the TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) are for automatics and 068-08 is for manual and automatic. |

Replying to: mcdawgg (Dec 09, 2008 6:46 am) A TSB, as I'm sure you know, can be for anything...... automatic, manual, constant velocity (IF Toyota had a CS). It's just a service bulletin; nothing less, nothing more. Some TSBs apply to body trim, which obviously has nothing to do with transmission or engine type. I'll concede one point though: strangely on the 068-08 TSB, the description right from the factory does say for automatics AND manual transmission models. BUT.....how a TSB designed to "smooth shifting" can possibly apply to a manual transmission is beyond me. (Unless the TSB comes with a bottle of sedatives to calm the driver's jangled nerves, and therefore "smooth" out his manual shifting arm!! LOL!!)

Replying to: notmybmw (Dec 09, 2008 7:22 am) With the advent/adoption of DBW or E-throttles the engine control ECU's firmware could be quite intimately involved, fully integrated, into manual shifting. |

Since the price of a gallon of gas has gone down recently I've been able to fill the tank once in a while... I've decided to finally check the gas mileage I've been getting and I'm very dissappointed... the last 3 times I've checked I'm getting around 22/23 mpg. I have a 2007 4cl with 15k miles on it.. I do mostly in town driving ... some highway but I thought I should get better gas mileage then this.... about 6mos if not longer I had the TSB installed to fix the transmission hesitation problem... to be honest I never checked the gas mileage before I had the TSB installed... so I really can't compare mileage before and after... but the mileage I'm getting now is not good... I'm a normal driver... not heavy on the gas etc... anyone having the same crappy mileage as me? Also, at the same time... I also had the following repair kits installed to repair a dashboard noise I was getting when the weather turns cold... even though I had the noise kits installed I still get the same noise in the dash now that the weather has turned cold in NY... anyone having the same issue? "Noise Kit #08231-00801", and "Wind Noise Kit #08231-00810".
