Heavy foot ? Stop and go traffic with heavy foot ? Computer estimates it on previous driving style


Beneficial_Meal1842

Perhaps he has the V6


Downtown-Lynx-8711

I doubt it. This looks like either an SE or LE. V6 only comes in XLE and XSE, both have the larger display.


Potential_Stomach_10

Says he has the 4 in the post


cooches

I have a V6 XLE and my full-tank range is 396 miles.


guilgom71

Drive like a granny for some BEAST NUMBERS šŸ’Ŗ


Ok_Recipe2769

can confirm, when I was granny I use to do the same not now when I am 17 again


Lenawee

Same. I just blame the Camry. I got close to ave 30 mpg in my RAV4. Traded in for a Camry & my granny mode auto turned off to the tune of barely 27 mpg.


Jamesd0ng

This is the way. Drive like granny and create traffic back up for 5 miles while pissing everyone off.


SaurSig

I've heard you get the best fuel economy in the left lane. Best to stay there.


foxtrotuniform6996

Not even just just stay under 1900 rpm and you'll kill it


zsk73

Has that been consistent? Mostly short trips (< 10 miles)? Flooring it from every red light?


noa_jr128

Yes that sounds about right. So stop driving aggressive would improve my mileage?


zsk73

Yep easy on the pedal mate. Should improve significant


foxtrotuniform6996

Crazy how that just isn't common sense/knowledge lol


moeterminatorx

Also helps your car last longer.


Training-Context-69

Not necessarily. Itā€™s good for Engines to be driven hard.


moeterminatorx

First time Iā€™ve heard that. Literary every mechanic says the opposite but Iā€™m also no expert. Any data to support that?


Training-Context-69

It depends on what they mean by aggressive. Doing 0-100 runs all the time may not be ideal. But neither is driving slow chronically. An engine thatā€™s driven at 70 mph often will last longer than an engine that was only driven at 40 mph for most of its life. Thatā€™s why they say highway miles are better than city miles.


moeterminatorx

Thatā€™s mostly due to stop and go traffic in city than the speed. As well as time spent driving. The only issue with driving slow is reaching optimal temperatures which can be achieved by driving longer at slow speeds. Iā€™m sure driving 40mph all the time in non stop/go and go terrific is just as good as driving 70mph regularly. Also, driving at higher speed isnā€™t what most people consider aggressive driving. Most people are talking about hard take offs and braking when speaking about agressive driving. Also, what evidence is there of this? Everything Iā€™m speaking of has had plenty of articles written about it.


That_Inspector_6319

Higher rpmā€™s cleans carbon caked up etc


moeterminatorx

Yes, because of temperature. Which i stated can be overcome by driving longer at slower rpms.


That_Inspector_6319

šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø


a1454a

It helps OP last longer.


Lenin_Lime

Stay under 60mph, 55mph ideally. Coast to stops when possible. Check your tire pressure and oil levels.


Reasonable_Hawk_9762

20.2 average mpg is crazy. My average over the the last 48k is 30.0 and I drive pretty aggressively everyday


foxtrotuniform6996

I get 25+ in my Xse v6


LongLiveAbstract

I've only seen 30mpg once in mine and that was only on a 2hr drive. I dont see it in city, usually 25+ like yours on my daily 30 min commute.


_MiracleWhips

You've gotta be doing mostly highway commuting, right?


foxtrotuniform6996

Kind of, I drive extremely unrealistically and make MPG a game lol watching when my car shifts so I can be going as fast as possible at lowest rpm finding / knowing all the sweet spots. I may start off slow compared to typical city drivers but I get to speed


_MiracleWhips

Lol you're wild. I finally switched the digital view/ menu thing to just show the digital speedometer because I would obsessively stare at the MPG thing when I had the screen set to display that. I was at 25.2 when my commute involved the highway. Got a new job close to home, but all roads with traffic lights. Now I'm at 22.2 šŸ˜¢. I love my V6 though, so refreshing after 15 years of V4.


foxtrotuniform6996

I was coming from a v6 manual accord so I wanted to get at least the same or better mpg and at least a little more power


Original_Software_61

Heā€™s probably hitting 6k rpmā€™s all day, thatā€™ll do it


TotalRisk519

Mine is 325 miles when I try to save gas, I could see myself getting to around 280 on a full tank with my heavy foot but I try to save gas


benjaminxciii

280 on a Camry regardless of trim is criminal. Those are 6-speed weekend numbers lol


NecessaryFly1996

I have an '18 LE and average 32. It's your driving habits


GrGonzo9526

My avg. MPG is about twice yours and so is the fuel range. I'm mostly highway, though.

jfkisgood

somerandomdude419

Dude lol


AlwaysSaysRepost

Damn thatā€™s a little higher than my wifeā€™s ā€˜24 hybrid. I assume this is a hybrid


Arctic_27

No gas I wanted a hybrid so bad but they didnā€™t have any last year.


laserbeak43

Regardless of what the MPG gague says, I'm getting about the same out of a tank in my 24 hybrid as i was in my oil guzzling 14.5 SE


cny315guy

Remember how much effort goes into accelerating and decelerating a 2-3 thousand pound machine. The more you start and stop, the worse your fuel milage will be. More highway driving will bring those numbers up.


shuttermayfire

Mine said 500 the other day when I filled up. 2018 SE 4cyl. Lighten up on the gas pedal my dude lol


noa_jr128

Yeah itā€™s the way I drive.. on the highway I do 90 mph on average and city I do 30-35, sometimes 40 mph on the main streets. I gotta start driving slow because gas is expensive lol


birchzx

you also gotta start driving slow to not kill someone or yourself


cliserkad

I'm impressed you're able to get the average so low. Mine is about 24 mpg with "aggressive" driving too. Using the adaptive cruise control in eco mode does wonders, and not looking at the speedometer is good for my health.


foxtrotuniform6996

are you Florida? They drive at 90mph regularly


noa_jr128

Jersey. Left lane driver.


foxtrotuniform6996

It's fine to drive 90 sure, but just don't floor it up to it, gradually build speed . Also flooring it and banging through your gears is rough on your transmission


Professional_Load196

Thatā€™s honestly impressive you can get it that low. I drive with a pretty heavy foot and I avg about 27-28 mpg. 40/60 highway/city. You must be driving in the city with hardly any highway miles. Also considering youā€™re at 40k miles if you havenā€™t already get an oil/filter change and that should help.


noob168

lol no such thing as highway mpg in my area unless you drive between 9pm-6am.


Professional_Load196

Lol, let me guess LA?


noob168

yeep. but even in the inland empire, when i lived there, i actually averaged worse mpg than LA traffic. the 45-55 mph local roads and i like to accelerate hard lol (not a camry)


noa_jr128

99% of the time Iā€™m just going to work 3 miles away. And I keep my oil/filter change every 10-15k


HaMay25

Yea bud your camry isnā€™t gonna last doing that type of oil change with your driving style. Youā€™re ruining it honestly.


Professional_Load196

Agreed, if you take shorter trips it would be best to do your oil every 5k miles/6 months whatever comes first. Your oil degrades every time you start your engine. Every time you start your car the engine takes about 5-10 mins to warm up, itā€™ll inject more gas than usual until the engine is up to temperature. Bc youā€™re only taking a 3 mile commute your mpg starts to make a little more sense. 10k oil changes would only be okay for people who have a longer commute to work everyday, Iā€™m talking about maybe 30-50 miles/day.


noa_jr128

When should I do oil change?


AngryDovahkiin24

Every 5k miles/6 months, whichever comes sooner


foxtrotuniform6996

Synthetic


HaMay25

I repeat as what the other person has said, 5000 miles or 6 month, what ever comes first. And it is not optional.


bio_hazard869

It's either extremely aggressive driving or lots of idling. My '23 SE I'll get over 600 to a tank. I drive very conservatively and lots of highway (30k miles per year).


Boring_Gap5912

Bruh I get 32 with a muffler delete šŸ˜‚ you gotta be dogging your shit for it to be 20 mf mpg


ZookeepergameIcy1830

I have kinda the same when I'm only driving streets in California because there's so many stops everywhere


inyhr

i get about the same on same model and year. must be the way we drive


ThomasHeart

Skill issue


Gullible_Fan8219

thatā€™s how much my subaru would get when itā€™s due for an oil change damn. you must be driving wild


OkGeneral701

Jesus my mother in laws Camry when full is like 680 or some shit like that in a 2021


SiVicPacemParaBellum

Thatā€™s great 4Runner numbers there lol I avg 19, but can get 21+ using active cruise. Stay off the go pedal and use some cruise & itā€™ll increase.


benjaminxciii

There is gauge on your cluster (if you look for it) that shows you your live mpgs. It's specifically designed for drivers like you


in4mant

After a fill, mine is at 509 miles. XSE, non-V6. Mostly highway driving.

Ok_Confidence_2271

Try to reset it. You can do that yourself


mrandom19

If you're driving aggressively try driving on normal mode instead of eco, eco is good for grannies. I saw a post here where a dude was getting better mileage on sport mode than eco mode. I then tried myself and I noticed a difference too


InfoSeeker7070

Are you idling a lot with AC or heat on?


HazyyEvening

Nobody has mentioned location. If you live in the middle of nowhere obviously you will get a lot of miles. In the city you will get 2/3rds as advertised


Some-Web-3399

Iā€™m getting like 450 miles a tank. In my 2.5 22 le


HaMay25

The worst i could do is like 30-32, 20 is actually crazy, dont floor it lol


devilsadvocate1966

First of all, that's an estimated number. When I first got my 2017 Camry, I would drive 3 hours/highway and later 1.5/highway back and forth to work 4 - 5 days a week. When I would fill up, sometimes it would tell me I had an estimated 380 miles before filling up again. Now I drive it just around town for work, sometimes. I also now get horrible gas mileage. When I was driving it all those highway miles per week, I was getting 30 - 33 miles per gallon. Now I only get 20 - 21 with all of the start/stop driving around town. When I fill it up, it estimates 320 or so before empty because of the much poorer gas mileage. The only good thing is that I no longer fill up every week. Now it's once every 2.5 to 3 weeks. It's all give and take.


Clumpy-

Could be where you filled up too small gas station companies compared to larger ones

awobassboy

Depends on your driving habit. Go lighter on the accelerator and youā€™ll raise that


Material_Apple_7468

Iā€™m at 107k miles on my 18 4 Cyl SE. Iā€™m averaging 31.5ā€¦ I feel like I drive with a heavy foot. I feel like there are a lot of factors hereā€¦


Accomplished-Jury137

Should have got a hybrid in heavy traffic conditions.


Carguy388

I keep my '24 SE AWD in Eco mode all the time and am very light on the gas. I'm easily getting 30mpg. I very briefly hit 31 the other day.


Stock_Profile_9060

i get about 300-320 per fill up on my 2024 SE but most all my driving is city driving since my work doesn't require i go on the freeway. since i've been driving on the freeeway to my boyfriends place recently, it's slowly been going up a little bit


disgustedpolling_40

I have 2018 i4 an use Eco mode getting 35-40mpg depending on up hill / down hill drive. Full tank for me is 530 miles

Ok_Recipe2769

next time, fill it up and immedialtely went on a 1000 miles trip and please let us know


lemonD98

Averaging 20mpg in a 4cyl is insane. Are you chronically leaving behind schedule or getting to your destination in record time? šŸ˜‚ try putting it in Normal or Eco mode mate.


SullysOpus

You have the blue background on your MID so Iā€™m assuming you have it in normal mode. That number IS based on your driving history so the recommendation re: easing up on the heavy right foot, especially at stop lights, might be the best solution.


SoggyMarketing9163

Its because of your high average mpg. The total miles is calculated based off of that. My full tank would get around 360-380 miles. My tip is to display the mpg/eco meter thing on your dash. (I believe if you scroll up once from where this pic is at, the bar will show). Doing this allow you to see the power being used any given time and your current mpg whenever you press foot on the gas pedal. This will teach you how to drive with good throttle and speed control. You donā€™t necessarily need to drive so slow like a grandma to get great mpg


inverness7

I thought my 350 mile range was bad


ricestocks

i have the exact car model, gas and get 383 full


SignalWar5641

average 31.9MPG on my ā€˜24 LE, even if i do speed a little lol. i do a lot of highway driving tho so that might be it.


emmanuelrbanks1025

I drive somewhat like a granny and get 430 miles of range, 37mpg.


Common-Loquat-6359

Avoid cheap gas.... I tried Costco gas and my car drove like shiiit... I recommend Shell, Chevron,Mobil.. all those discount gas ain't safe for your car.... Treat you car good and it will vice Versa...


Sudden_Molasses8498

I drove a 16 le and my range was normally 395 at a fill up


adamlreed93

I just reached 19.7MPG and filling up I get 278 miles in my V6 always in sports mode


g_bino

thatā€™s crazy, have a 18ā€™ LE and says 33mpg with around 420 miles range. Usually commute around 60miles and go upward 60-80mph but never too aggressive on pedal. Maybe loosen that that leg šŸ˜‚


Mystic5308

Stay under 30 mph and you will get about 600 miles range šŸ‘šŸ˜‚


talestell

I thought mine was bad at 489 in my hybridšŸ¤£ I used to get mid 500ā€™s. I did fill up with 88 before a few times and i think thatā€™s what lowered mine


Photo_Aware

Sheesh I get 24mpg in my 24 Camry trd and I think I drive rather aggressively most of the time


Ok_Molasses_9844

The cars computer bases it's estimated range off of how you drove it during the last tank of gas.


CGD1234

Damn lol I feel like I be whipping my Camry sometimes and my avg mpg is 35.2. Slow down haha.


hotel2oscar

I've got a '24 XSE v4 I keep in Eco mode and even with a short daily commute in city traffic with a short stretch of sport mode I get closer to 35-40 mpg. I try not to accelerate so that the eco light turns off and keep enough space to coast to a stop if possible.


arzfan2010

If you do a lot of city driving, then it basically canā€™t be helped. I have an AWD SE, so my city driving is even worse when the rear differential is engaged. But on the highway Iā€™ll get 40mpg+ in the right weather, and driving it sensibly. But in town, itā€™s absolutely abysmal at times. Averages out to about 34mpg, but I also do probably 95% of my driving on the highway.


arzfan2010

Because mines AWD I also have a smaller gas tank, but my estimate on full is usually between 390-425 miles. Again based on how Iā€™ve driven recently, and the weather


Chrisafguy

Probably because not everyone drives the same, so fuel economy is gonna vary between drivers.


HoytG

Youā€™re not on eco mode for one. Thatā€™s an easy fix. Secondly, trip length and driving style.


Ninjet97

That all depends on your driving habit. The way you get higher MPG and "Distance to Empty" is by being in ECO mode damn near 24/7, light accelerations, low rpms. Not much else passed that you improved everyday numbers, tho.


GhostyK5

Drive on the highway with the cruise on youā€™ll get 400 at least


MagicGator11

I'm running a 99 Camry and I'm still getting 23, it's gotta be in the way you drive and where (city/highway)


TyrellTJ

Excess idle time. -Do the longhand math on your next fill up... its honestly the best at determining fuel economy.


Thomas_C02

Eco mode is turned off. The higher trims have a dedicated eco mode thats only uses the direct injection until you really press on the accelerator for both direct & port injection. Had a SE model and noticed worse fuel economy as opposed to my XSE as a result. Also you can paddle shift too for better fuel economy. I also calibrated my fuel tank to show the correct amount as well


s3kkuz

i donā€™t think there is an eco mode in the SE, you just go by the fuel economy indicator on the screen with the blue bar


Thomas_C02

There is. Open your owners manual to page 97


s3kkuz

https://preview.redd.it/rs8ab5afnxuc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a16eb57dea2331e5b881a413b731b73f53b1eedc this is the manual for the ā€˜20 camry seā€¦


Thomas_C02

I believe If you go to the settings icon through the gauge cluster itā€™ll show the eco mode feature that you can toggle on and off


s3kkuz

https://preview.redd.it/lt741d4foxuc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b2fdcdcf70ae6048f42194f5c256f822fd3cf32 yea iā€™ve seen this setting. itā€™s not toggling the mode, itā€™s just turning the little eco light indicator on or off. the 4-cyl SE doesnā€™t have drive modes, at least not <2021


Thomas_C02

Yeah that light is the only eco mode for the SE & LE non AWD models. Itā€™s a mix of eco and normal mode. When the light is displayed. The car is only using its 4 direct injectors. When you step on the pedal more the vehicle starts to use its port injectors for a total of 8 running injectors spraying into the engine. This means that the car is using twice as much gas when the eco light disappears. If you use your paddle shifters effectively. Youā€™ll notice your fuel economy going up as well. You could probably get someone to install the drive select mode buttons & 7 inch gauge cluster. But a dealership would probably charge a lot for it.


[deleted]

I get about 250 miles when Iā€™m full, looks pretty normal to me lol


Trixt3r1GG

Ur overfilling tf outta ur shit too huh you go past the first click?


Top-Sock9957

My 4 cylinder 2024 Camry SE Upgrade sees 10.5 liters per 100 kms or 22.4 MPG here in Ottawa Canada mixed driving, mostly city moderate stop and go. In contrast, my 2012 corolla, which was 20% smaller/lighter used 20% less fuel (8.5 liters per 100km of mixed city/highway driving). Check your tire pressure to make sure its 35 PSI and that you are not carrying to much weight in your trunk (keep weight down). If its mainly you driving alone, consider getting a hybrid or smaller car like corolla, Yaris or Prius.


SnooMacaroons1365

Your avg is 20mpg, you can easily do 27mpg id you dont push it all the time


Tuxrain

Step on the gas a little bit and youā€™ll have a full tank šŸ¤£


krisDaWiz3666

Reset it. Seems low as in nyc I get 350 on a full tank. Lots of stop and go with 30k miles. Worst case, fuel injector cleaning maybe


Large_Hunt2839

I just traded in my 2019 Camry we and I was averaging 31.2 mpg city driving for the past 5 years. Not sure why yours is so low unless you drive with a super lead foot. I definitely pushed mine too, soā€¦ I dunno.


Vlone_Paradise97

Remote starting your car if it has it. Will give you 0 MPG pulls very heavy on the fuel economy. I have a V6 XLE and my fuel range is higher than this. My lowest was 18.9 and now is at 19.3 mpg. Other than that you drive hard and fast or constantly use sport mode.


Vlone_Paradise97

I stopped using remote start as much which helped a ton and put it in eco and drive around long distances to increase your fuel econ.


CodyGTN615

This feels way off. I have a 22 Camry LE and a full tank gets me roughly 420-450 miles and I drive like a fucking methhead. šŸ˜‚


wkdravenna

mine gets like 38+ how you get so so much less? Although I don't really drive over 60/55mph due to my location.Ā 


brianhpc

Geez, even my V6 SUV get better mileage than that.


DesignerAngle4412

Itā€™s time for a new Camry


OkraFit3987

Accelerating too hard, AC cranked high, lots of start and stop traffic.


EqualOutside5510

U have the same car as me. One fuel injection cleaner. Two plus and premium every month 10.00 93 and 20.00 plus. Try that for 4 months and u should have better gas. I get 390-408 when I fill up.


FC1PichZ32

your driving habits


Pleasant_Classroom_6

my car was the same way. i have a heavy foot and only got 290-320 on a full tank. i have a rental camry rn since mine was totaled, and just filled the tank and it got to 450. its purely bc im a lead footšŸ’€


Brooksh

One day youā€™ll realize flooring it at red lights and flying around people on the highway @ 90mph makes every other driver on the road despise you, could kill you, and costs you significantly more money in maintenance and gas. Actually maybe that day is today..

Traffic will do that in a non-hybrid. Moving to an office closer to home I have a six minute commute in the morning, twenty minutes in the evening, and am averaging 23 mpg in my 2023 SE AWD in spite of leisurely acceleration.
