Just went for a 250 mile drive. Highway driving, speed of ~80mph all the way. Got an avrg. of 30MPG. Cool. But why camry gets the same MPG VVT-i 4-cylinder , 2.4 L?

SKYRockerr

Did it tell you on your gauge 30Mpg , did you use atleast half of your tank?

Neeferea

Yeah it's stable, I double checked myself. And Yes I did use more then half.

Glad you actually believe the trip computer .....and no, Toyota doesn't suck

Neeferea

Well I too believe the toyota's quality is very good, but why 2.5 lit. engine has the same gas milage as 3.5l engine. Not according to my trip computer, but even according to my own calculations and Nissan.

I don't know about you guys, but my trip computer always overestimates my mpg by 2-3 mpg. Now I just divide the # of miles I do by the gallons I've used up. Then I compare the number to my trip computer.

It all depends on how you drive it- I had an 04 Camry for a rental not even two weeks ago and I was getting 33-34 mpg on a trip to Mass- with alot of city driving in Boston

The camry BTw has the disadvantage in power to weight ratio -so 30-35mpg is good for any car in the market

I get roughly 32MPG with all highway driving ..i have a 2001 with no mods

luniz97

i don't know about you guys but i only get about 22 mpg and i drive all freeway miles...i get about 310 miles a tank

pigburger

It's definitely how you drive it. To get the camry up to speed and to pass you have to step into it allot harder than you would the 3.5. The Maxima is probably geared much higher too.

wade2ksleeper

yea the camry is probably just workin harder to accelerate to 80 and stay there, while having the extra hp means the max has to strain much less, and i dunno if you have a 6 spd but wouldn't that also help

i remember i was driving to tennesse at 80 cruise control
i got like 29.3 mpg, and made 475 for a full take i was impressed

Gennady7

Hey
I get 215 miles to 15 gallons (the gasoline light goes on) Most of it is city milleage and about 25% is highway. It is eating a lot of gas. I have a heavy foot but I think somethings off.

don't worry, i know the feeling. it's normal. i used to think something was wrong with my car too but we have a tl and it's pretty bad too

ChiggaVQ35

highest i've hit was 27.8 (according to trip computer) on my way to cali... thats with 3 people + luggage, and hitting 100+ degree temps through arizona and nevada

SkoorbMax

00 5 speed @ 80 mph I get, with AC on, 28 mpg. That's tabulated by dividing miles driven into tank (ie. not an estimator).

Neeferea

So as people are saying, that max can give us a very good MPG, then whats the point in buying camry to save on gas, none...

exunaja

I have an average 22 MPG from 2 years ago. That mix hwy and city but I only drive 10 mnt to work each day. But still that's bad.

im sure camrys get much better milage than our cars...

Neeferea

Check their stats on the internet

camry's have better resale values than maxima's... that's about the only thing i see. so it's good to buy a camry new and good to buy a maxima used.

i cant even get 200 miles per tank. maxed out at 185 miles then the empty light comes on. Something is wrong with my car or it's just nyc.
