Gas Mileage on 2005 Camry

[findmadhav]

Hey guys,

As you know I recently got this 2005 Camry SE 4 cyl. Now after I got it, I realized that the previous owner had put 3 wrong size tires on the car and 1 was the correct size (3 are new ones). So the car had three 205/60/R16 and one 215/60/R16. I had a choice between getting 3 brand new tires or 1 to match the other 3. I got 1 more 205.

I have been getting around 22-23 mpg. Is it because of winter? I put in fuel injection cleaner twice and tire pressures are correct too.

Is this normal and should I expect better mileage in summer?

Fuel Economy of 2005 Toyota Camry

Looks like you're OK if most most of your driving is city. Or if you're warming it up for 5 minutes or so each morning. Remote start?? I know from experience remote starters kill fuel economy, especially if your drive is not that long.

i dno mate, my 1994 camry LE 4 cyl was getting 27 mpg on average.... mostly city driving... i dno about newer models but would seem a little peculiar for it to drop like that...


edit: and on fuelly they seem to be getting between 25-26 mpg

findmadhav it seems slightly low:
how many miles are on it?
does it burn any oil?
have you checked the air filter?
fuel filter?

The miles are pretty low. Around 53K now. Does not burn oil.
Air filter is new. Need to check the fuel filter though.

It does seem low to me. I am on my third Camry,'91-'98-and current '08 all four cyl. models. I would have a shop hook it up and see what's up with it. If you are driving it right city should be mid to high twenties and highway should be in the thirties. Good cars,I usually put on about 250 thousand miles and get a new one. Good luck!
