Am I going nuts or is this correct?

Hi guys....

Anyone who owns a Camry 2.2L SXV-20R...Errr....whats going on? Or are these normal fuel figures?

I have the receipts to prove these figures...

I fueled up in Glen Waverley BP with Ultimate. Put in 49.96L out of a possible 70L tank.

I made the journey from Glen Waverley, Victoria to Bathurst, NSW - on googlemaps it says 842km, however i drove it around Albury during a stop over and also to some random towns (cuz that's what people do...lol), so i clocked up 889kms in total.

OK so throughout the trip there were more BP stations than i thought - thus i used BP Ultimate all the way.

Filled up 7.79L in Albury, then 32.45L on the Hume Hwy in NSW. I always fill to the top on 2nd click.

Calculations:

Kms travelled = 889kms

Fuel used = 8.79L + 32.45L = 41.24L

41.24: / 889kms = 0.04638920134

0.04638920134 x 100 = 4.638920134 Litres/100km

Unless I've calculated these wrongly and totally was sleep walking while i refueled at a station....HUH? :huh: :huh:

Conditions:

Sunny both days, no airconditioning, windows slightly down for a gentle cool breeze entering, air vents placed on outside air, 110km/hr hume hwy with higher speeds when overtaking and random speeds on olympic hwy from 40-110 km/h

Surely i cant do those ridiculous figures right? I'm staring at these receipts making sure they're not wrong.....

What about the fuel used between the last re-fill and Bathurst? Bathurst is a good 200km from any point on the Hume.

I had a 2004 widebody manual 2.2 and it was a freak with fuel for the size of the car. Highway cruising with aircon on <6l/100k easy.

What you achieved is not abnormal for that car at all.

I have heard different about the auto version though... could be the driving style maybe??

Your calculations seem to suggest you ended with the same amount of fuel you started with. Was this the case?

You're correct, the 4cyl 20 series use no fuel at all haha...

It's normal for the 20 camry. Mine is a 2002 year 2.2l camry , around town fuel burn is 8 l/100 km.( drive quite carefully.)
