He's probably using imperial gallons, as we do in Canada and the UK..... 1 gallon = 4.54 litres

Look at the mileage the 09 got in this test, compared to rivals, (imperial mpg or L/100km)

My 2000 Corolla, with 37,000 miles (I'm the little old lady who drives to church and the grocery store !) gets 27 mpg in mostly stop and go city traffic. The only repair I've had to make was to replace the Oxygen Sensor, and of course, routine maintenance.

I just started a new job this week, 60 miles each way mostly highway. My 2002 Corolla S with 5 speed usually gets between 30-35 MPG around town in mixed driving. For this commute, I drive really relaxed, upshifting early and letting the car coast in gear as much as I can get away with. Average highway speed is between 65 to 70. I just filled up yesterday and my mileage was 43.42 MPG. Needless to say I was very happy, but hope this isn't a fluke. I'll update on future fillups.

Hoopit........or Tbarry........any of you guys keep really accurate records like i do with my camry?... i.e.
60 mph 39-40.058 mpg
65 mph 1 tank 40.059 yes it get about the same at 60 as 65
70 mph 37 mpg
75 mph 33-35 mpg
80 mph 30-31 mpg
82 mph 29.97 this is when i drop under 30 mpg
82+ mpg goes down significantly. like if i was to do 90 mph prob 24mpg
 
above is with my 2003 camry 4 cyl auto, i travel every week same route from So Calif to Phoenix... Every stinkin week, lol these are extremly consistent numbers. But the high speed traveling over 82 kills my mpg. been considering a corolla.
 
 So, my question is, with a corolla, what is the mph breaking point where it really begins to frop like my 03 camry does at 82.??
 
Due to my 4500 miles a month, i have to trade out cars quite often. my 03 camry had 39,000 mi on Jan 1st. now it has about 70,000. so 31,000 in 6 months. So i want to sell it while it has good value still.
 
Any help would be appreciated

Don't count on great mileage with the Corolla over 75 MPH (even with the manual) It is geared too low for good MPG numbers over 65-70 MPH. If I go over 65-70; 43MPG is not attainable.(Once you go over 3000 RPM; mileage drops fast!!) The manual Corolla really shines with it's "average' mileage abilities during city driving, when the RPMs average 2500 or less. I don't know of any car; except maybe a diesel that will do extremely well at 75+ MPH. My warm weather "average" remains at 41 with a 50/50 mix of city/highway driving. The manual will beat the automatic by 8-10 MPG in city driving if driven correctly. The highway difference is about 2-3 MPG; unless the automatic is downshifting frequently. The Corolla automatic needs an Economy/Power switch like Mazda used on the MX-6. The Corolla automatic downshifts on the slightest incline; which kills mileage.(I hated the 4 speed automatic in my 2002 Corolla; too much unecessary high RPM operation. Only able to average low 30's with 50/50 mix)

Tire Suggestions For Improved MPG Anyone? by mikebal

I will soon be replacing the original Goodyear Integra tires on my 05 Corolla. Can anyone suggest which replacement tires would get the highest mileage for me? Good tread wear is also a consideration. Thanks in advance, Mike

I replaced my Integras on my 2001 Corolla with Goodyear Allegra tires made exclusively for Sam's Club. These tires have excellent treadwear and traction at a very good price. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I was never impressed with the Integra series tires in wet driving conditions, so I replaced the tires on my 04 with Goodyear Assurance Tripletread tires....made night and day difference. As far as I know, there wasn't any MPG change....
