Re: amazing mpg
Is this an automatic or 5 speed?

Re: amazing mpg

Re: amazing mpg
I think the highest I've gotten out of our '99 is about 30 mpg. And then again, I think the lowest I've gotten out of it was about 9. But the 30 mpg was once upon a great time too...

Re: amazing mpg
This time I took a trip around 800 miles, mostly highways. And I got 29.6 mpg. Also, I feel camry is not very comfortable for long trip, making me very tired, particularly the suspension. Anyone agree? What is a good car for long trip (not luxury)? Buick?

Your 35 mpg is average. My 89 4cyl Camry auto gets 40 mpg highway, 36 mpg with AC(recirc. mode) on at 60-65 mph.

Re: amazing mpg
The 87 to 91 Camrys are the OLD body style & are a smaller car.... The 92 to 96 Camey are the larger Camrys & DO have a fine ride... I drive to Kansas (850 miles) & I am not sore the next day.... The Camry is one fine riding machine for your money... If you want the best then get an Avalon... Bob
