98 2.5 manual - average 21mpg 50/50 city/hwy with 93 oct Shell
01 3.0 v6 Avalon - averaged 23-24mpg on same route with 87 oct whatever

Overall I'm happy, considering the Avalon only got 15% better but was 100% less fun.

Avalon I drove like grandpa since I had a trip computer and that 3.0 had zero acceleration it wasn't fun to push hard

MPH? Perhaps also the wrong car for you. G's on a skid pad? Now we're talking!
