If by "averagely" you mean "with a lead foot" then yes. Our '95
sedan and '95 wagon, which are both very large, average 26-34 MPG
overall, depending on season and proportion of highway to city driving.
We drive them gently but not dangerously slow.

Thanks all of you .. the reason I was asking is I am thinking of
getting a 2007 or 2008 camry - 4 cylinder (non hybrid version) .. and
now with gas so high here in the San Francisco-San Jose Bay Area,
getting good mileage has become an important factor.  But I cannot
afford the hybrid premium so it is not an option.  I see Camry LE
sedans (Auto-AC-Power windows, etc) advertised for as low as $17000 +
tax, which seems to be a good price.  Although I would have preferred
they had not changed the shape from the previous model . this one
looks too bloated .. as if someone took the previous model inserted a
syringe in its belly and pumped a lot of air to make it bloated.
(just my opinion)

I have been driving a 1987 camry and get 30+ mpg pretty comfortably
(mixed driving)

So I gather I should get around 24mpg city to 30+ mpg highway
driving .. right ?

Bought my Camry SE in July, 2007--4 cyl. w/ auto. transmission.
Traded in a V-10 Dodge 4x4 for mileage reasons--went in to get a
Corolla, but figured for a little less mileage, I'd get a larger car
with more comfort and a body style that I find much more attractive than
the Nissan or Honda "equivalents."  Anyway, on to the mileage
question.....

  At the time of purchase, I had a 77 mile round trip to make daily for
work--about 7 of it city driving, 10 of it highway, and the remaining 60
interstate highway.  Because I figured out the time differentials, the
difference between driving 75 on the freeway (70 limit) and 65 was about
3.5-4 minutes difference; I kept it cruise-controlled to 65 mph for the
trip and let the cars pass me (3 lanes on the interstate for 50 of the
60 miles).  This being said, 30-31 mpg avg.......Trips outside of this
steady "study," and using speeds of 70-75 (not many of them to make a
definite "claim") usually knocked it down to 28-29 mpg.

  I have since moved and my driving is now primarily city driving (7
mile round trip to work) where the car does not get properly warmed
before it is time to shut down and go into work--it has cut my mileage
dramatically.  I have been doing this new routine for four months now,
and have been getting 3-4 weeks between fillups (as opposed to every 4-6
days before), and have been seeing 20-24 mpg.......Still much better
than the 8.5-10 mpg I would've been getting with the V-10........

  Hope you find this helpful........

   There are two issues here. You never see "combined averages" in TV
ads anymore, which would give you a much better idea of what your actual
figure would be. Instead they list only "highway" MPG, and act as if
it's the average. That's deceptive sales practice. The other thing to
consider is that the Camry has, in the past, been the best family-sized
car I know of in the area of average MPG. Our '95 averages 27-35. Not
highway, actual average, in about 2/3 highway, 1/3 city driving. The low
end is for Winter driving with more city in the mix, the higher number
is for Summer with more highway driving. (We drive gently but not
dangerously slow.) The newer ones seem heavier and more powerful, so
those highway averages are probably accurate. Shame, because our highway
number is around 40...
