I know everyone here is talking about changes they want on the 2010 Camry but remember this is just a refresh look at the minor changes done on model gens between 94-95, 99-00, and 04-05 they are not really major changes. I am intending on buying a 09 Camry SE (4cylinder) and really do not want to wait another year for a refreshed Camry. Although I will be curious what Toyota does for the next generation 2012 camry probably due to come out probably spring 2011.

"Yes, my running average from 29K to its current 53K miles on the '04 Camry (continuous records) is 28.0 mpg. The average from new up to 15K miles was 27.3 mpg. The gap represents the period my son had the car in Los Angeles and didn't keep records. Worst believable mpg on that car is around 23 mpg, and best is 38 mpg. I'm aware of not completely filling the tank and discounting fills where only small amounts (say 6 gallons or less) are added to "top up".
On the '05, I have complete records from new up to its current 32K miles. Worst believable is 20 mpg, best is 35 mpg. We've taken enough long-distance trips (including a 2400-mile round trip to Florida this past spring) to count on 32 mpg on the highway, using cruise and keeping to the speed limit. Also included in this trip was a 602-mile run on a single tank -- meeting your challenge -- where I refilled with 18.53 gallons, yielding (surprise!) 32+ mpg. "
I remember both of those - it was from that latter post that I concluded that your unequalled range with low refill error constituted the upper actual limit of fuel efficiency for the automatic. Alls I wanted to say is that lots of gears do not necessarily translate into better efficiency - although it might sell more cars to those who chose to believe it.

We already have a Real World MPG discussion for the Camry, as I know all of you know. This is not the place to continue to beat that conversation into the ground.
Back to the future Camry, please.

Hey I am in the process of buying a 2009 Toyota Camry SE (4 Cylinder) and my question is it worth the wait to get the 2010 when it is supposedly coming out sometime in February or March. The refreshed model intrigues me because it has an more improved 4 cylinder engine with more horsepower.

Maybe you should move the relevant posts to the Camry MPG forum, if they can be moved en masse and still make sense.

Yes, but this is more of a mid-cycle refresh, with only the 4-cylinder engine (and tranny?) being significantly revised. I'd still take the chance, despite some having problems with the '07s when they received the new V6/6-speed auto.

That's a good idea but at this point we need to just go there to continue. But thanks, I appreciate your suggestion.
