Reply With QuoteCity driving, with no more than 20% highway, gives 21-22. Straight highway driving (Sac to LA, about 400 mi.) gives 26, and that's with the AC on and the cruise set to 78.
my old v6 used to get like 23mpg all around. did some maintenance, oil change, spark plugs etc etc, got it close to 29mpg before my timing belt decided to start hell.
im making 26mpg on the new engine. not 29 but much better than what it was during the break in.

Just took my '99 ES V6 with 130K on a vacation...
Got 28.8 mpg on the way down (530 miles) through some mountains and got an even 30 mpg on the way back up (602 miles) through some different mountains.

Are you sure you have a V6 and not a Lawn mower engine?

30mpg and 602 miles. that means you have over a 20 gallon capacity. how'd that happen?

If you post stupid and incorrect information, you will get red nuggets.

I do find 30 mpg with the V6 hard to believe, though. Constant 50 mph? Maybe...
