I haven't been keeping up with Toyota technology on their gas-only engines. Can anybody list any design developments over the past few years that would make a dramatic improvement in mileage?

I should have hit the "Quote" button. I was trying to reply to the person with the '07 V6 XLE with 35MPG. I thought about it some more, and I think I only got 30 MPG with the '06 I4 Camry, and it might have been an '05. I think I got 32MPG with a Corolla that I rented. I suppose I could rent a Hybrid Camry, if I can find one for rent. They seem pretty scarce around here. Does anybody know of one for rent in the northern Chicago suburbs?
