Just bought an 85 camry.....fuel economy?

[Vohaul]

Hi all,

just bought an 85 camry lx hatchback 5 spd for a daily driver...as we moved about 60km away from the city, and i commute for work on a daily basis....
got it mainly to keep from running my other toyota (see sig) into the ground
(i can do that offroad

anyway...juyst wondering what the average gas mileage is on these...since im canadian, ill do this in km...so far..and its got just under a quarter tank to go on its first tank through me...it has 430 km....

the car runs and drives like a top....intereior perfect...fluids always changed....just wondering what i should expect

Thanks....

Pretty good. The 5spd will get more gas miles then the Automatic. I got an '85 4DSD DLE AUTO . I had about 210miles at the 1/4 line (370 km). That tank involved a lot of hard acceleration and half city and freeway. Also my Camry is far from perfect with bad front alignment and the need of a tune up. Now I am slightly between the 1/4 to E with about 274 miles (440 km) with 3/5 freeway and 2/5 city. That tank involved a lot more soft acceleration with the gas.

Gas mileage isn't that off from my '07 Versa which seems to be toping off around 29mpg, but I pefer to drive the Camry since of the width space and the fact that it stands out from the crowd.
