Miles per gallon
#3
My 2016 LE is getting an average of 34.88 over the first 2870 miles. I set up a spreadsheet, so I get REAL mpg, not a guess. The car readout is always 3 to 4 miles above actual, and my ScanGauge is 2 to 3 over the actual. I find it interesting that the dash computer and the ScanGuage get their info from the same source but give different numbers, AND are both wrong.

there are quite a few tricks done on fuel test drives
so a makers vehicle specs says gives you x miles per gallon
this site claims 3.6 gals/100 miles for that camry as an auto
25 city 35 highway mpg

mitsubishi caught out by nissan cheating fuel economy tests
http://www.afr.com/business/transpor...0160420-gobdas
just 7ways
city testing never done in peak hour times
not tested on a full tank
run around a flat track top gear on cruize
higher tyre pressures
higher octane fuels
strip out seats and spare tyre and reduce any weight of the test vehicle
coasting down any hills for many kms at idle

most of the test cheating is not legal in the usa.
they use to base the highway number on 55 which was a cheat to favor large american cars. a true real world joke.
germany has some of the best rules, which is why lots of people can beat german numbers.
