03 Camry XLE Mileage Computer

I have the same question. The computer shows 5 miles higher average gas milage.

Do you really expect ACCURACY from ... a gadget!?? LOL

Correction: Do you really expect accuracy from a gadget in a Toyota?

Is this going to turn into an unabashed Crapsler commercial? ;-)

Sorry I haven't answered this earlier, but I was travelling.

ISame experience with my 2003 Camry 4-cylinder XLE, which I bought last March and now has about 4,900 miles on it. The displayed Average MPG is always 20% to 30% higher then the actual. For example, after a recent tank of gas the display said 32.9 mpg while the actual was 27.1 mpg (380.6 miles; 14.0 gallons). That's 21% high.

I have been keeping pretty detailed record of the mileage. The cumulative mileage (total miles since the car was new / total gallons) is now around 20 mpg. Immediately after a fillup, the "Range" display is always around 360 miles. Since the tank capacity is 18.5 gallons, that computes to 19.5 mpg,; pretty close to the actual cum mileage.

I mentioned these errors to the service writer last week when I had the oil changed. He claimed ignorance and said he would research the problem. I'll call him tomorrow to see if he "found" anything!

Hahahha. 4,900 miles in 9 months .... and you're worried about gas mileage and the silly driving computer's accuracy. Good grief. Round up to 550 miles per MONTH. LOL. You should be worried about cob webs.
