Gas Milage V6 vs I4

I've found that I get around 33Mpg out of my I4 Camrys and about 25Mpg out of the V6 ES250.

I'm kind of curious as to what others are getting out of their Camrys.

On a side note, a Toyota Previa AWD gets around 20Mpg.

I get 22 on regular unleaded and 27 on Premium. Mostly highway miles. And it is true that if you keep your speed below 70 your gas tank goes a lot farther.

For the gas milage I get, I drive 65Mph - 70Mph for about 24 Miles then 45-50Mph for 20 Miles and 25-40Mph for 8 Miles daily with Maybe 5 to 8 stops in between. Most of it is with Cruise set.

Keep the RPM low and I get 27mpg.

Man, that isnt low enough, a lot of people get 18 and less.

I get a solid 11L/100km or 20-21 mpg on my 92 V6. I think that's about normal....

Canadians, use this tool to convert.

in my 3.3L i get 19-22 around town (depending on how much i floor it) and 24-26 on long trips to cali. not bad considering i had the 1MZ with VVT-i and i got the same or a little less MPG than the 3MZ but it was probably just me and my driving.

25 if I drive like a pansy (regular city + highway). 23 if I do semi-spirited driving. 21 if I hit it hard.
