Gas mileage

I have a 1994 Camry LE 4 cyl. 2.2 L
When I first got the car, used, it was getting about 15 mpg. I replaced the spark plugs, ignition wires, fuel filter, and air filter (with the K&N OEM fit), and used redline fuel system cleaner. After that it was getting 18.5 to 21 mpg. All my driving is local city/town driving, and short trips. I just got gas today, and calculated my mpg, and I only got 12.7 mpg. I am a little worried about this, especially when gas is as expensive as it is. What could cause such a dramatic drop? May it be from the change in seasons? The spark plugs are Bosch Platinum +4, and are only about a year old.

Hello ice745,
your engine coolant temperature sensor could be bad causing your car to run rich therefore using more gas than normal. :2cents:

20mpg is very common for the i4's. If they're not kept in better than average condition, they have a habbit of falling under what the v6's get.
Replace the o2 sensor with a cheap generic Bosch splice in, change to a better brand (for toyota) spark plug (Denso, or NGK - their cheapest $1 plug is going to do better than the most expencive domestic plug after a years time).
You oughta be closer to 25mpg combined, 28 on the highway.

Hi,
My Camry V6 gives the gas mileage of 8Km/litre. I wants to know What's the average Gas Mileage of Camry V6.
Thank you,
