Yeah, before I put on the 33" load "E" range Nitto Terra Grapplers and the 2-1/2" level-lift, I was getting 15 MPG (I drive mostly city), but what fun was that?
My tune would also get me better mileage...IF it wasn't so damn much fun to drive with 400+ HP.

www.cleanmpg.com is a good site for hypermilers, and no we don't recommend drafting trucks, but engine off while coasting can be one of many tools.
Are you talking actual real gas mileage or doing silly stuff. Not sure how you can get much more than 30 out of any truck....??

Im pretty sure that camry doesnt have much more than 35. Unless one attempts "silly ways" to increase mileage, hes doing pretty much all it can do driven normally. WHY would you want to shut the engine off?

37+ mpg is the short answer, but you think it's silly, so..............

Thats Hybrid territory!! I'm pretty sure I can at least get 35 mpg. I may get a hybrid (or EV) in a couple of years when Lithium-ion batteries take over, but I'm happy for now.
I achieved 38 mpg average on highways when I had my Gen 5.5 (2005) camry and 34 mpg city. I'm pretty sure you can achieve that with some practice and experimenting.
