I get around 26 on my SE. Is that normal? I read in a different thread a lot of people are getting much better MPGs.

Do you do alot of city driving? It all depends on where/how you're driving it.
I average about 30-32 combined. About 70% highway to city driving.

I’ve got the V6 and I average about 23 with 60% city driving. I have noticed that eco mode, if you can stand the slow acceleration, made a little difference, maybe 2-3 mpg. But that’s probably because it changes the A/C too.

On my XLE V6 I get around 25 overall and anywhere from 31-34 on pure freeway driving at around 70mph.
2018 Camry SE
On a recent 180-mile trip on the interstate I averaged about 41mpg for 95% of the first half until I hit traffic about 10 minutes before pulling in. I'd say I was driving 70-75 for most of that. Being in traffic dropped it to 39mpg. Second half back home averaged 39mpg. That tank averaged 32mpg ("miles driven divided by gas put in tank" method).
Overall the computer is showing me averaging 33mpg. Not sure if that's accurate but that's what it says.

On my 900 mile road trip to panama city and back I averaged 42 running between 65 and 70. Since that trip I have only done city driving. the worst gas mileage I've seen was 29.8. Typically im at 30 -31 all around town.
I've driven close to 600 miles so far and the computer is telling me 20.6 MPG. I tried to do a reset once but I don't think it did anything. It was slowly climbing from about 18 or 19 as time went on, obviously when I first got the car I was idling a lot just checking stuff out. I've been doing a lot of stop and go, with maybe just 10-20% highway driving.
I don't understand yet how it calculates miles to empty but my current value after filling up is a bit disturbing so far. My old car I was getting about 19-20 MPG and it had a 16.5 gal tank and I always got a reading over 310 miles to empty which made sense, sometimes even about 340-350. This car I have not yet seen over 300 after filling up, it's somewhere around 290. Yes the tank is 0.5 gal smaller. I don't know, the math doesn't work for me. 20.6 MPG x 16 gal = 330 miles to empty. I don't know what's going on with that thing.
I have the XLE V6.

6 weeks ago I traded my 15 LE 4 cyl for the 18 XSE 4 cyl and boy what a nice upgrade. I regularly drive 70% hwy and 30% city and was avg 30 mpg on my old 15 LE dash readout and now I avg 33.5 mpg in Eco mode on the new 18 XSE dash readout. In Normal mode I was avg 32 mpg after a month of driving. So I'll just keep it in Eco mode for the better mpg and quickly switch to Sport mode for those moments when I need it. So I am saving over 10% and $$$ so far in gas on this new 4 cyl engine. I do drive calmly most of the time with lots of 65-75 cruise control on hwy and slower easy pedal starts and more long coasting when approaching a stop sign or light. Great job Toyota! God bless.
I averaged 30 mpg (dash read out) on a 30 mile trip on some county roads with eco mode and cruise set at 65mph for probably 80-85% of the trip in my XSE V6.

Update (XLE V6): I do maybe 90% city, 10% highway lately. I'm averaging about 21-21.5 MPG. Sometimes my end of trip stats says 23 something if I'm lucky. However this morning for fun I drove to work in sport mode and my trip stats said it was 14.5 MPG! I always drive in normal mode but thought I should try sport and it does make a noticeable difference in throttle reaction, I speed up immediately on demand - I suppose it keeps it in a lower gear a lot of the time to accelerate quickly on demand instead of waiting for assurance you really want to downshift. I wonder if eco mode takes even longer to downshift. It is fun to drive in sport but I don't think I can afford it!
I just noticed that my mpg was slipping downward a little lately. Since it has been so cold lately my tire pressure was on the low side. On the really cold mornings my tire pressure readout was 29 psi on all tires. My sticker on the inside of drivers door reads it should be 35 Psi. I personally purchased the awesome kobalt tire inflator from Lowe's. Also some gas stations have a air inflator tank or just swing by the dealer for a quick tire check. God bless.
My XLE V6 is getting about 25 combined city/highway. When I am up on the highway and I hit the "clip" button (to reset the gas mileage calculation), it shows that I am getting high 30s on straight highway driving.
I do love how smooth the V6 is, but I spend a lot of time at the gas station. Then again, I am coming off the Camry hybrid with a 17.1 gallon tank.

For background, I have a 2017 4 cylinder Camry and I get about 40 mpg in the summer on the highway. I have a very light foot and try to avoid braking unless needed (a habit I developed after my last junker crossed the 20 year mark). I average close to 29, with mostly local driving over the year. Winter is much worse and I have runs that are as low as 18 before the engine warms up with the winter grade fuel in New England.
Anyway, I rented a 2018 SE in Florida this weekend. I came here because I could not believe the mileage the computer was reading. I have no idea if the car was completely full of gas when I rented it, but when I filled upon return, I had averaged 39 mpg on the rental- mostly highway, but AC was on 80% of the time and there was a lot of local traffic. SO, I got at least 39 mpg.
On one almost 2 hour drive, I got out of the car and the mileage computer on the highway read that the trip had averaged 53 mpg. I wasn't using AC on that run but still could not believe it. I was doing around 70 which was the speed limit and wasn't drafting behind a truck or anything. On the return trip, I had AC on and I still averaged 47 mpg. This was not a hybrid and I noticed the tires had 40 pounds of pressure in them. Not owning a 2018, I didn't know if that was right, but it seemed high.
Anyway, unreal numbers. I even popped the hood to make sure I wasn't in a hybrid and it wasn't.

I've computed 3 tanks of gas, 42.5 gal, and total miles driven 1,745 miles driven. That is 41.05 mpg. The average computer read out is also averaging close to 41 mpg for all 3 tanks. I'm convinced that the read out is pretty accurate. I'm doing another test with filling car full to brim using same pump with car sitting in same position.
