2006 (Gen 5.5) Fuel Economy is low
I am getting 21-22 mpg mostly highway. I thought highway miles should be around 30 MPG or above. Every website gives a different number.

Car only has 30K miles on it. Clean air filter. Any ideas? What are you guys getting? Is it because of the ethanol in the gas?

I just got this Camry 2 months ago as a Certified Pre-Owned.

relax on the pedal. you save a crap load more of gas driving 65-70mph rather than 80+ mph.

I live and drive in NJ--going over 65 mph is not possible.
