My stock speedometer is only off by about 3 MPH, so I know that my speed isn't much different than what is shown. If I keep my load light and stay in overdrive, then my MPG increases according to my UltraGauge.

I've tried different loads, throttle positions, DWL versus cruise control, acceleration techniques.....it seems that 60 MPH is the magic number but I will continue to test. I will know on my next fillup if it has helped at all.

My Camry has a MAP sensor as well.
