that Camry is a hybrid, and for the regular 4-cyl Camry with automatic, the figures should be 31/21, or
28/19 for the V-6. But EPA numbers still tend to overstate city mileage and understate highway mileage.
That's the Camry Hybrid.
For my 05 corolla, I think the "old" numbers were more accurate than the new way they calculate it. Makes me curious if the new style corolla gets about the same as the 03-08 series, or if it is a tad worse. Even the 08's were set at about 37 mpg highway with the new numbers I thought. But in the real world my 05 with the auto tranny gets 41-42 at
65 mph. Maybe 39-40 at 70 mph. My tests at 65 mph are more accurate than my 70 mph tests so far, due to the way I fuel up on my trips, so the jury is out at 70 mph. It's still pretty close to 40 with the cruise on. But anyway, mine gets a lot closer to the "41 highway" they used as the old number, rather than the mid 30's they use now. I probably get about 30 city, with a lot of stop and go, and A/C on. But in some stretches on long boulevards, etc at low rpms, I probably get much higher as long as I don't have to stop. I think they made the new numbers more accurate for people who keep their foot in it, frigid non stop A/C, etc...Yeah, that's the Hybrid.
