This is my second Toyota, first was an '02 Corolla the X run to 80,000 kms without and oil change.

The car survived with flying colors after 3 oil changes within a week.

I was impressed!

Just grabbed a 2003-04 Camry Sportivo for my kid and other that some teething issues looks good.

Can't get used to the 'drive by wire', won't kick down when expected, idles high about 1800 rpm on start up

and drinks more fuel that my old Ford El 4.0l

Hoping it will settle soon otherwise I'll start a biopsy!

3.0 V6, no mod's, 122k with all books and verified service history.

Seems to drink more above 80kmh going by the inst fuel consumption.

Cheers to all,

JG

Welcome to the forums.

The 1mz-fe is a little thirstier than I'd like but clear up your exhaust and you'll see your mileage drop. Gen5 Camrys are all cable throttle bodied and a 1800rpm (and reducing once warm) idle is normal.

The fuel consumption gauge is useless as it is out by a fair margin.
