On my trip back from Bakersfield my Camry got 35.8 MPG. If it had not been for one bathroom break I think I would have come closer to 36 or even 37. While there were some steap climbs along the I-5 on the way home, there were some really sweet dissents that I costed down and really helped my MPG. I found on flatter ground that I could get 40 MPG if kept speed at just around 62 MPH. Using my ultraguage I kept track of gph which was at just about 1.70, this was my sweet spot.

The only mods I'm currently rocking are a volo FS3 Chip

Some lucas fuel cleaner

This was with 3 people in the car so thats another 300 pounds plus some luggage.

I never did any off engine coasting because from what I've read its not good for automatic engine.

This was my best MPG yet so glad I finally broke though the 30 MPG, heck I blew though it.

Any advice or other camry owners who have had similar success?
