#278 of 304 Re: Toyota Corolla Owners: MPG-Real World Numbers [KarenS] by Burgundia Feb 09, 2009 (3:20 pm)
Replying to: KarenS (May 31, 2005 8:04 am) I have a 97 Corolla DX, I do about half surface and half freeway driving every week. I get around 28mpg. When I do majority freeway driving I get 32-33 mpg.   I''ll be trading it in soon for a new Corolla, only because after 11 years the maintenance costs are starting to get significant...plus I just want a new car.
#279 of 304 '09 Corolla LX by jimwwhite Mar 13, 2009 (12:12 pm)
I bought my Corolla back on 12/1/08 and now I've driven it 9K miles. It's almost ready for the second oil change. This is one fine car! It's everything I wanted plus. During the colder winter months here in NC which aren't all that cold I averaged right around 37 mpg. Now that the weather is warmer and my two last tanks were 41.2 and 40.7 mpg. I drive about 95% interstate each day with very little slow down or traffic and the road is pretty flat. I'm also a conservative driver in that I set my cruise control on 65 mph as soon as I get on the interstate and rarely have to take it off until I get to work. It's a 60 mile each way commute.   Great car! Replies to this message: kipk (Mar 14, 2009 3:19 am) terceltom (Mar 14, 2009 6:10 am) hoopitup2000 (Mar 14, 2009 8:09 am)

Replying to: jimwwhite (Mar 13, 2009 12:12 pm) Good post.   It would be interesting to learn what your mileage would be at 60 mph. It would only add 5 or 6 minutes to the drive.   Kip

Replying to: jimwwhite (Mar 13, 2009 12:12 pm) Yes, highway mileage is superb but there is quite a noticable difference when city driving is your primary mode. City driven Corollas can expect to get anywhere around 23 mpg. Keep in mind this is all start and stop city driving. Just curious, your model is an XLE or an LE?

Replying to: jimwwhite (Mar 13, 2009 12:12 pm) If you are using the trip computer, those numbers are usually inflated. It is only an estimate. Try estimating your mileage using a calculator to get the true mileage. You will know for sure after a few fill-ups. Those numbers seem a bit high with the winter fuel formulation.

Using the trip meter in the 2009, I was getting 43+ on my 60 miles per day commute to work averaged over 2000 miles of driving. I didn't check with actual fill up's, but I know it was good. I am a very conservative driver though and loved to see how high I could get it. That was at 65 MPH mostly.

Does any know why the 2010 Corolla LE lost 1 mpg in city and highway? Replies to this message: terceltom (Aug 30, 2009 9:37 am) dvd0060 (Aug 30, 2009 11:05 am) mnf (Aug 30, 2009 6:30 pm) mcdawgg (Aug 31, 2009 8:16 am)

Replying to: terceltom (Aug 30, 2009 9:37 am) Mpg for 2009 for Corolla LE 27-35 Mpg for 2010 26-34 I was wondering why. I did notice that they changed the tire for 2010 from good years to bridgestones Replies to this message: mnf (Aug 30, 2009 6:30 pm)
