How far a 2002 Toyota Camry goes on a tank
Gallons left and the distance they cover at each mark on the fuel gauge, at EPA city and highway mileage. At the combined rating of 24 MPG, a full 18.5-gallon tank covers about 444 miles.
| Gauge | Gallons | Highway miles | City miles |
|---|---|---|---|

Over 15,000 miles a year (the EPA's yearly estimate) this configuration uses about 625 gallons, roughly 34 full tanks.
In real driving: owners who log fill-ups at fueleconomy.gov average 26.3 MPG in the Camry (50 drivers), about 487 miles on a full 18.5-gallon tank.
Fuel gauges aren't perfectly linear and the low-fuel light comes on with a few gallons still in the tank, so plan your stop before the last eighth.
