Still I'd take a Bluetec over that, but it does cost a lot more.
My father-in-law owns nothing but Camrys. They have had a 96, 98 and now an 05 and 07. The 96 and 98 got 32mpg on the highway and 29 around town. The 05 and 07 have yet to break 29mpg at ANY time. They are both 4 cylinder/automatics. If a 66 year old semi-retired professor that NEVER goes over 65mph or any other speed limit for that matter, can't get these things over 30mpg then the average person won't either. RT
