Ok I currently own a 2005 Camry XLE V6 for about a month now and I noticed the MPG arent as good as expected for the V6. I was just wondering what people are getting with the 4 cylinder? If need be I will be selling my XLE for a Toyota with the 4. I know power is much better with the 6 but I was curious about the 4 . any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I have a 1996 w/ 2.2L and the last time I calculated it was 29 and that included plenty of time sitting in Chicago traffic. It's normally high 20s/low 30s with a mix of hwy and city driving. Much better than my last car which had a V6.
I dont see how people can be averaging around 30MPG during the winter, unless they do 90% highway driving. I usually get between 21-22MPG during the winter, and I get 24-26MPG in the summer.
We have a 2005 Camry LE 4 cyl, bought new in November 2004. We keep records on each tank of gas, and the car has averaged 30.3 mpg since we have owned it. The range is from a high of 38 mpg on two different tanks of gas, to a low of 22.3 mpg on one tank of gas. Driving conditions and style make a huge amount of difference.
Ok I have the 2005 XLE with V6 and Im getting about 270 miles to the tank, If I calculate it correctly 270 miles divided by 17.5 gallons of gas = 15.42 MPG. How in the Hell is that? Something dont seem right. I dont have a lead foot by any means.

Are you calculating that based on the capacity of the gas tank, or is that how much fuel you used since you last filled up according to the pump?
I based it on resetting the trip odometer to 0 when I fill the tank then waiting for the tank to run down to the low fuel light with about 20 miles left on the tank then basing how many miles are on the trip odometer divided by how many gallons to fill up. An example would be 270 miles on trip odometer filling up the tank with 17.5 gallons of gas. 270 miles divided by 17.5 gallons of gas = 15.4 Is this right?

Thats how I do it, 17.5 gallons just seemed like a lot since that would mean you would only have ~15 miles before you ran your tank completely empty. If I fill up when the guage is right below the "E" mark, I can usually get in about 16 gallons.
here's something disturbing, I was actually going to make a thread about this, my 4cyl is averaging 16mpg now.
Recently I've been doing a lot of driving, almost entirely highway(60-80mph) and been sucking gas like a suburban and my car is recently tuned and sounds great.
I drove 620mi last week and used an incredible $120(37gal.) worth reg grade fuel. Cant even blame the fuel, I got gas at a different station every time. Personally I feel now, that the engine is just underpowered. idk
