What is the fuel consumption of the 2007 Camry 2.4?
3 Answers
Camry 2.4 comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 5.5L. Actual fuel consumption is related to various factors such as road conditions and driving habits. Factors affecting car fuel consumption: Engine influence: For the same engine, the amount of gasoline consumed varies at different speeds or torque levels. This is related to factors such as operating temperature, intake and exhaust design, fuel octane rating, compression ratio, carbon buildup in the combustion chamber, and intake and exhaust resistance. Cars equipped with diesel engines are generally more fuel-efficient than those with gasoline engines because diesel engines have relatively higher thermal efficiency. Displacement influence: Engines with larger displacement consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement. Factors that determine the level of engine technology include the ratio of engine power to vehicle weight and the engine's power per liter. Therefore, cars with larger displacement are not necessarily more fuel-consuming than those with smaller displacement, as this depends on their engine technology. Vehicle weight influence: The weight of the car also plays a significant role in fuel consumption. The weight of the car affects rolling resistance, gradient resistance, and acceleration resistance, all of which influence fuel consumption. Reducing the weight of the car can effectively lower fuel consumption.
I've been driving a 2007 Camry 2.4L for over a decade, and the fuel consumption has remained relatively stable. In congested city driving, it averages around 13 liters per 100 kilometers, rising to 14 liters during peak hours. On highway cruising, it drops to about 9 liters. Driving habits make a big difference – if I accelerate aggressively or brake frequently, the consumption jumps by 1-2 liters. To save fuel, I regularly check tire pressure, change the oil and air filter, keeping the engine running smoother. As the car ages, worn components like carbon-fouled spark plugs or drivetrain wear can increase fuel usage. Running the AC at full blast also adds a bit more consumption. Overall, the average is around 11 liters – not the most economical but acceptable, costing me about 500-600 yuan monthly on fuel.
From a technical perspective, the VVT-i engine design of the 2007 Camry 2.4L is quite efficient, with an official combined fuel consumption of 10-11 liters per 100 kilometers. In actual urban use, it ranges from 12-14 liters, and around 9 liters on highways. Engine carbon buildup or deteriorated oil can reduce fuel efficiency, increasing consumption by 0.5-1 liter. I recommend regular maintenance, using higher-quality oil and cleaning the filters to keep the engine running smoothly. The transmission tuning is decent, but aging leads to significant transmission losses. Using cruise control for steady highway driving helps save fuel. Temperature changes also affect consumption, with higher fuel usage during cold starts in winter. Overall, this car's fuel consumption is mid-range, and with proper maintenance, it remains economical.
