#4 of 304 2005 corolla by toyotacor Jun 10, 2005 (9:21 am)
My 2 week new corolla gave me 32 mpg with mixed city and highway driving with AC on all the time in hot TX weather. I know that my driving is not fuel efficient friendly so i will be happy that i get 35 mpg once the car goes through its first oil change. Still this 50% better than my old car - 1996 infinity g20 which gave 20-25 mpg in the city-highway driving conditions.

Replying to: KarenS (May 31, 2005 8:04 am) Hi all,   I have a 2005 Corolla S, Auto - purchased March 30, 05 and now has 7741 miles on it. (100 mile commute per day).   Of my hour long commute, 1/2 is at 75mph 1/2 is in stop/go 20 - 55mph.   May actual fuel economy is 31.93 mi /gal with an average fuel cost of $2.06 per gallon. I use 87 octane, and have changed oil once - planning to switch to synthetic at my second oil change at 10k.   I track everything on my PDA with Two Peaks Personal Vehicle Manager, so I have up to date stats all the time.   I've replaced the stereo and speakers - just didn't like the sound of the stock stuff, but other than that nothing on the car has been changed. Though I am thinking about putting in a dash kit to make it look a little more fun.   Krissy

I'm getting 38 MPG in mixed city and highway driving here in Houston and nearby suburbs. For trips of 50-100 miles on the freeway, I'm getting 42 MPG. I have an automatic and always have my AC on. I have the S model with extra value package and I paid 15500+TTL last January. The fit and finish, the sporty look, plush interior and MPG, I'd say it is a good buy.
#7 of 304 2002 Corolla LE MPG by toguy Jun 26, 2005 (10:28 am)
My 2002 Corolla LE has consistently returned MPG in the high 20's in (Toronto's!) winter and low 30's in summer (35% city/65% hwy). Despite the fact that those numbers are lower than what most people quote here, I'm happy with them since my driving style is probably the reason I'm getting them (i.e. a/c-heating on all the time, frequent revving to 4000+ rpm to overtake slower traffic and jackrabbit stop-light starts/stops!)   Having said that, Consumer Reports had 29 mpg on average with the same Corolla, so I'm not doing too bad.   Also, I had a 96 civic before and, despite the fact it was much less powerful, it consumed about 15% more fuel under the same circumstances.
#8 of 304 2004 Corolla LE by joshscar Jul 31, 2005 (4:45 pm)
Replying to: KarenS (May 31, 2005 8:04 am) I have a 2004 Corolla LE with an Automatic transmission.   When i am not using the A/C in normal driving conditions I get about 29-30 MPG in the city. During the Summer when I am using the A/C (90-115 degrees) I get about 26-29 MPG.   With about 90% freeway (65-75 mph) and 10% heavy city driving I get 35+ MPG on a tank.   Josh
#9 of 304 2005 corolla CE manual by nmrt Aug 02, 2005 (8:38 am)
my corolla gave me 39-40 mpg on a drive from atlanta to philadelphia. i was driving at 70-75 mph all throughout with the ac on. nowadays i get 34-36 mpg highway and city combined but i know that just on the highways i still get 39-40 mpg consistently with ac turned on. my driving habits are between two extremes -- at times i meticulously follow the corolla owners's manual guidelines for optimum fuel efficiency by chaning gears the the therin mentioned speeds. but at times i become a maniac trying to suck every once of horsepower the car has by changing gears at high rpm. in all, i am very happy with my mpg but i wish the car had more POWER!   people, if you get a change upgrade your stereo and speakers. i did and you have no idea what you are missing. perhaps thays why you havent upgraded them yet

#11 of 304 2005 Corrola S 5 speed by laurelgrae Aug 26, 2005 (8:30 pm)
My poor S was totalled last week....trying to decide if I should get another. I had it for 13 months. Mixed driving I usually got around 34...mostly highway I would get around 40. I miss my car and have to buy a new one soon, although no dealer seems to be able to find "my" car, ABS/Sidecurtain etc. Stupid 16 yr old kid
#12 of 304 2005 S mileage by laurelgrae Aug 26, 2005 (8:31 pm)
Whoops...forgot to say that I had 13600 miles on my car (used it to commute).
#13 of 304 Confused by ohmygosh Oct 26, 2005 (8:52 am)
I purchased a 2005 Corolla S automatic with expectations of getting good gas mileage. I started out getting about 33 on the highway and 26 in the city. With only 4000 miles on the car and primarily city driving, I am now getting about 20 in the city. I am confused and somewhat upset. My husband's Highlander is getting close to 20 in the city.
