Replying to: lessachs (Dec 22, 2006 3:49 pm) I get better mileage than my wife. I made a 50 mile trip on 12/24 when the outside temperater was between 40 and 50, and I average over 40 with about 75% highway. I'm happy with the gas mileage and I can understand the gas mileage may fluctuate due to driving condition. I don't think your car is doing anything wrong. |

Replying to: larsb (Dec 26, 2006 5:36 am) I remember driving around Phoenix and I wondered about how relaxed a drive it was. Synchronized traffic lights, miles between them, no starting, stopping nor racing for the next green. In Montreal, I regularly drive 15 miles to a downtown customer's. On some days, I get 38+ mpg, while on other days I only get 25 mpg on the same course (all numbers are US mpg). All this because of stop signs and traffic lights. Since I've had my TCH, I even changed some of my routes to save up to 40% in fuel. My tire pressure is 36-38 psi. |

Replying to: larsb (Dec 26, 2006 5:36 am)  Most of my trips are short..less than 5 miles to and from work. Tire pressure is 34. I changed to synthetic oil at 1500 miles. My driving sytle is average. I'm taking the car to the dealer tomorrow to make sure everything is o.k.

Replying to: itsaraid (Jan 04, 2007 4:13 pm) Hybrid system - 100K/96 months Powertrain - 60K/60 months Corrosion - 60 months/unlimited miles Emission comp - 80K/96 months Restraint sys - 60K/60 months Basic - 36K/36 months The hybrid battery and emission sys warranty is longer if your vehicle is bought in a state with Calif's emission system. It seems to me that the risky stuff is well covered already. I didn't buy one. Extended car warranties are generally the most profitable option sold by dealers. I've never bought one and over the years have saved more than enough to now pay for any possible post-warranty repair and be money ahead. Good luck. You're getting a great car. |

Replying to: itsaraid (Jan 04, 2007 4:13 pm) These cars are built to run forever. Don't do it. For more support check out Consumer Reports opinions of these ripoffs. Enjoy your car. |

Replying to: lessachs (Jan 05, 2007 6:52 am) I don't have an extended warranty, but I don't consider them a waste of money for many people. There are many that might prefer to finance a warranty at $16/month than to take a chance having an unexpected $3000 repair at around 80,000 miles. $16 can buy a lot of peace of mind. Not everyone is in the situation where choking up $3000 would be easy. There is still toooo many things on this that are expensive to fix and I'll be surprised if Toyota has a 100% reliability record in 4 years. I'm hoping my Toyota is as dependable as you think, but I would imagine there are many people that indeed need costly repairs. If not then I would think that my dealer would have nothing more than a drive through oil change facility out back.

Replying to: wvgasguy (Jan 05, 2007 10:50 am) "What you should do: Consumer Reports does not recommend buying an extended warranty unless the car is particularly trouble-prone. Most basic warranties are sufficient, covering at least three years or 36,000 miles." Didn't mean to sound too sharp in my comment. It's ok with me if people are more comfortable with an extended warranty but for a Toyota Camry, I think its an unnecessary expense.

Replying to: lessachs (Jan 05, 2007 1:34 pm) If it were not for the longer term drivetrain warranty I wouldn't even hesitate and would buy it |
