I was getting 20-23mpg with the last Camry I had (2.5/auto).  Now it seems like I have to fight to get 20mpg with the 2.2/5-speed.  The smaller engine just doesn't have enough power to get through into traffic on the way home.

The smaller engine has twice the mileage of the other car.  That might be why, but I haven't looked into it.  I'm still getting a CEL on the current car.

Same here.  I put the instant fuel feature on my screen and I average about 22-26 MPG on my way to work on that device.  I'm hoping by the end of the week my average MPG will be 18-20 MPG now instead of the 15-16 MPG I've been getting with my old driving behaviors.

Have that feature on mine, and I pay much more attention to my driving style than I did before.

I've been down, in bed mostly, with a hurt back for the last 10 days and it hurts to drive....sure has saved me a lot of gas...and cigarettes... :-)

$3.699 this morning.  Diesel is going for around $4.10, give or take, meaning heating oil is around $3.79.

Works for me. Especially since we don't have coins worth a tenth of a penny.

$3.399 here in north-central MO.

I don't pay the $4.00 per gallon. I go to another less expensive station or to Indiana.

Some people would not know what I was talking about if I said Red Stick or the Crescent City. Just like I mentioned that gas was 2 bits when I started driving.

Are you serious?  Did you have tornadoes rip through your area?  That's quite a bit higher than us for regular.  It was $3.81 a gallon for regular when I left work yesterday.

All the nasty weather was south of us. This was close to a 20 cent jump in the last couple of days.  Several other stations were a few pennies lower, but this is the local one.
