hi perthcamry

i've got a 2.4 (2005) as well and right now i'm only getting 13.5 / 100

i know for sure that it's way off (i don't drive aggresively), know what i mean?

but at the same time, i'm not sure what to do about it........any suggestions?

and when you say "tyres at 38psi", does that mean front and rear?

i'm 100% sure the recommended pressure is 36psi front and 32psi rear (label says so)

i would REALLY LOVE to get 10 / 100 even 11 :D

thanks

I'm getting around 12.9-13L / 100 with the V6.

Heh.....who would have thought the work vehicle (4Litre Petrol Ford Wagon) gets 11.9L/100

I was always under the presumption that Toyota would have been more fuel efficient. :unsure:

I drive a 96 Gen 3.5 V6 3L and get about 700km off one full tank (approx 66ltr tank as there is always some still in there when I fill up)

so you can do the sums behind that :D

please note, my car hasn't ben tuned in over 100,00km and fliuds are checked and changed (if need be) every 7,000km

by the way 2.4L engine is hopeless!!!

That sounds like there is a bigger problem. I am getting 8.6l/100k on the hwy and 10-11 around town. I have 50,000k on it

WOW DUDE!!!! :whistling: Gently on the GAS!!! :spiteful: you're driving a 4cyc not a V8 <_<

muffler shouldn't change the fuel consumption, if they do it should be very little.

My 98 V6 Camry does about 11-14L/100km.

The odo of my 02 advantage (3L V6) is about 95K and I got it serviced recently with a new time belt. It seems it takes about 12L/100km in average. Judging from your posts, the fuel consumption seems pretty OK. However, I keep tyre pressure at 32psi. Isn't it too low?

My Camry is 99' Model 2.2L, i pumped up the tyre to 36psi, better acceleration and save fuel too. But I did install high performance NGK spark plug lead. It is better torque than before...

Mine is 99 Vienta Grande, first 4 years 104,000+ average under 10l/100km, most of the time from home to work around 34km (45 minutes average) each way.

Ummm fuel economy is a tricky beast. Some cars with the same specs run quite differently. There are slight manufacturing differences. I find BP 91 works well for me. ;)

Getting a chip to optimise your engines fuel curve/power is the best. Also interesting to note that I think our car has the same engine as the Tarago and the RAV 4. in those guises they have slightly different power and torque. Could be different computer program could be exhaust. But the Australian standards get around 10L per 100k for the Tarago, which weighs 200kg more than a Camry…. :unsure:

Evil as some may think there are some claimed fuel saving devices I am trying one at the moment. :ph34r:

This may be a bit off topic but where can I get a K&N air filter for an 05 2.4L in Perth?

You can check ebay.au, what year of urs? i found a guy selling it for 91~99 Camry.

Hey i just installed 2 air swirl devices in the intake section ... one just after the airflow meter and the other just after the resonator box on my stock 3.0L camry, the same day put the k&n panel filter straight into the air box... no mods needed... and will report any benefits... havent been doing much driving but i want to see if this stuff really works or if it is the placabo effect of spending money on performance products... btw check out www.fuelsaver.com.au for the air swirl hiclone thingys cost me $288 internet order and the K&N panel filter for the 1MZFE was about $150 RRP comes pre-oiled and also includes pretty sticker... i love stickers :D sticker

Ahoy... My 1998 Camry (Vienta) gets about 500k / tank, which isn't too bad, really.

Average of 11L/100k's, that's about 60% highway / 40% stop and go...

Usually just BP 91, sometimes I'll lash out and go BP Ultimate / Vortex but only when I'm feeling rich...

Those swirl devices definately looks interesting!! Be sure to tell us how you went!!! Did you experience more power too?? Might get one myself :)

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Kanga, You wouldn't believe it, I found a pump at a Victorian wrecker. He posted it to me but to the wrong address. It was 10 days before I found this out. I went to the wrong address and they said the didn't see it. Austpost is adamant it was delivered. The wrecker fortunately has another one. So, I haven't taken the old one out yet.

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Just tested before - I think its dead. No noise - nothing. I also note that the power supply I have actually delivers a really high-pitched noise when it is on. When you connect it to something, that noise goes away. In this case, when I connect to the terminals, the noise remains. I'm going to have to get inside to look further. Unfortunately, I simply don't have the room to do a job like that. Geoff, did you have any luck getting yours out through the inspection hole mate? I'd seen a few Lexus owners actually cut the inspection hole to get this part out without dropping the tank. Each to their own, but I'm looking to avoid anything that invasive....

      Typical Price for a Replacement Key - 2000 Toyota Torago

      Just let me preface this by saying I know very little about cars in general, so apologies if I get some basic info wrong here. Ive lost the key to my 2000 Toyota Torago. I rang up a local locksmith to get a quote on a replacement key, and apparently it'll cost $1200 for two keys?? The old key didn't even have any electronics in it, it was just a basic key. Not button unlock or anything. I've gotten an electronic car key cut before and it only came to $400! This price for a key without a chip seems extortionate to me. Can someone please let me know if this price is normal, and if so why the hell its so expensive? Thanks in advance for the help! Here's all the information I think is relevant to the car (let me know if more is needed): TOYOTA TARAGO ACR30 II 16V 2.4L 2AZ-FE DOHC 16v Petrol 4cyl 115kW MPV FWD [02/00-02/06] Compliance plate / RAV entry date: 04/2000

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      On my 2002 Prado, the fuel transfer pump has a fuel filter which can block, causing increasingly less fuel transfer between the tanks. It may be the same for the Cruiser too. I have not yet had an issue with mine even at 250000km, but that is low mileage for a 2002 Prado. I hope that you have a filter that can be easily replaced. It could save you a pump replacement.

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      Unless you can identify which engine your Hilux has now, you may be better off finding a good 5LE engine and return it to stock. Nice to have a Turbo diesel though. Have you tried taking a photo of the engine and posting it so others can advise what engine you have. It may be better to have your engine overhauled. If you can locate the engine number (should be on the registration papers if the engine swap was done legit), you might be able to ID the engine that way too. Do you know why the engine seized? It may be possible to overhaul your engine cheaper than replacing it.

      Transmission clunk

      Hi all, Recently completed a long drive. Check engine light came on, traction control off light came on, unable to use cruise control. Pulled immediately over all oil level were good and no leaks. then when accelerating through the gears ( automatic Prado ) hearing and feeling a clunk on each gear ( like it was hard to select). Prado is unable to go into 5th & 6th gear. Maxed out in 4th gear at 90km/h @ 2500rpm. Later in the drive DPF light came on though I have a July 2015 build. DPF introduced in October 2015 that I am aware off. Any ideas at all would be grateful!

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Yes, with 12v applied to the pump you can definitely hear it whirring if it is working. Kind regards Geoff

      Yaris Cross roof rack

      Hi all, I’m looking at purchasing a Yaris Cross GXL however I can’t seem to find any official roof rack for the car On the Toyota website it doesn’t show a roof rack protruding like the Corolla Cross GXL I know you can get roof racks that slide under the door however I don’t see any official listing Interestingly enough Toyota offer an official bike rack for the Yaris, Corolla hatch etc but not the Yaris Cross Rhino-Rack offer a third party roof rack for the “TOYOTA Yaris Cross Gen1 5dr SUV Bare Roof” but I’m a bit hesitant to use a 3rd party roof rack on a brand new car. Do you know if this would cause any warranty issues etc? Another option would be to get a Corolla Cross GXL. However the Yaris Cross would be perfect if it could have a roof rack as I don’t need the extra size, engine and price point of the Corolla Cross. Happy to hear your thoughts
