TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Toyota Camry

Toyota Camry Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearComment
2015 The SE's grippier tires knock the Toyota Camry Hybrid's EPA ratings down from 43/39 to 40/38. The Ford Fusion Hybrid tests better, 44/41, while the Honda Accord Hybrid tests far better, 50/45. Then there's the real world, where, according to the cars' trip computers, my suburban average was in the low 40s in all three (the Lincoln MKZ standing in for the Fusion) and topped 50 on trips with no unexpected stops (i.e. any braking could be gradual enough to rely almost entirely on energy regeneration rather than the friction brakes). The Camry Hybrid acheived the best reported mpg on my standard school-to-home run--an astounding 70.6--but it started this particular trip with a eight bars in the battery pack (fully charged) and ended it with just two. You can only drive two, maybe three miles on electricity, but when the route totals 7.5 miles even a couple with the gas engine off can generously pad the average. On a 70-mph highway the Camry's trip computer reported averages in the low 40s. I wasn't able to test the Honda on the highway. The Lincoln MKZ hybrid's reported somewhat better numbers than the Camry's, but there's not a large percentage difference between 43.7 and 47.4. Any number of factors besides the cars themselves (trip computer accuracy, driving speed, wind conditions) could account for this difference. Frankly, I'm mightly impressed by any midsize sedan that can consistently average over 40 mpg, as these all can with light-footed acceleration and (especially) braking. see full Toyota Camry review

2011 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 First tank of gas yielded 28.75 MPG! This was a mix of city and highway driving while varying speeds during break in so there was never much of a constant speed. Made no attempt to maximize economy. see full Toyota Camry review
2011 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 First tank of gas yielded 28.75 MPG--not bad considering mix of city and rural with no long constant cruise. Also ambient temperature was from 5-20 degrees. see full Toyota Camry review

2009 4dr Sedan 187-horsepower 2.4L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 I average between 31 and 35.4 MPG which is more than twice what my SUV gets! I have "learned" how to drive in a more fuel efficient way using the MPG gauge and the fuel economy charts built into the Nav unit. see full Toyota Camry review

2012 4dr Sedan 178-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 After 6000 miles the car averages around 24 mpg city and 27.4 mpg highway. The latest response from the dealer is the milage will improve after I have driven 12,000 miles . That is the fourth milestone i have been told to reach for better fuel economy. The dealer refused to put the car in the shop to check out this problem. Last week i drove 286 miles to Louisville, KY and back with 246 miles on interstate highways at 65 mph. I drove with the Eco light lite with slow acceleration. I have spoken with other 2012 owners and they report the same milage. The conclusion I have reached on the average milage listed on this web site is by people who do know how to accurately figure fuel milage. see full Toyota Camry review

5-speed automatic FWD		 Highway is great but in the city driving it drops to about 16-17 miles per gallon. see full Toyota Camry review
2003 4dr Sedan 157-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Get s only 23-26 mpg v-v 28-30 for Accord. see full Toyota Camry review
2003 4dr Sedan 157-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Fuel economy is as expected, not great. It's a heavy car with an old engine and AWD. Short trips in the city, and it's fairly horrible. On the highway, it's particularly sensitive to speed, as the car is not very aerodynamic. I got as bad as 16 l/100 Km in the city, and as low as 8.8 l/100 Km on long trips. I believe the advertised 8.5 highway is possible if the trip is highway only. see full Toyota Camry review
2002 4dr Sedan 192-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 While it gets up to 28 mpg on the highway it only gets 14 to 18 mpg city. see full Toyota Camry review
