I cannot speak for the 2007 Camry since I have not driven yet, but the last
60 or 70 new Toyotas that I have driven for at least 1,000 miles have all
gotten equal or better than the city and highway EPA.

As far as the difference in EPA figures between the Camry and the Accord,
the methodology for determining EPA mileage estimates is pretty inflexible,
using special test gas, running the vehicle at a specified ambient
temperature on a dynamometer, etc. so while the EPA figures are reflective
of a very steady driving style, the differences between models will be
relative. IOW, there is a good possibility that the Camry will get better
mileage than the Accord.

Original plugs? That's sad, shame on you.
