#31 of 304 For my second tank.... by bottgers Nov 26, 2005 (6:00 am)
....I drove 394 miles (again mixed city/highway, but mostly highway), this time achieving an average of 39 MPG. I don't know why my mileage was so much better this tank than during my last. My driving habits were about the same. At any rate, I'm not complaining, 39 aint too bad!

#34 of 304 Newly bought 06 Corolla LE gives me a 26 mpg by simpler Nov 30, 2005 (4:27 pm)
Although I'm in Wisconsin and the car is mainly used for city travel, I'm still a little bit upset about this. BTW, I tested the mpg before the first tank of gas was empty when it got to 100 miles. Does anyone think it could give a better number when it is over 600-700 miles?

How many rpm's does the automatic Corolla turn at 60 mph. The manual is about 2,300.
#36 of 304 poor gas mileage by ckfreund Feb 14, 2006 (4:52 pm)
I have a 2005 Corolla LE with automatic and about 7000 miles on it. I have been getting very disappointing gas mileage. In all city driving, I've only been getting about 20 mpg. I live in Wisconsin where it's normally cold in the winter (but not this year). We don't have reformulated gas here. In the fall, I only got 24 - 26 in mixed driving. That was without the air or heat on. It's not the way I drive because I've gotten good gas mileage from previous cars I've owned. My other car is a Subaru Outback with manual transmission that I get the same mileage rom as the Corolla. I've taken it to the dealer and they've run a scan but could find nothing wrong. The guy there said it's not unusual for the same model of cars and trucks to get a lot different mileage. I've even tried filling up at different gas stations. Any ideas? Otherwise, I really like this car.

Replying to: bottgers (Nov 23, 2005 5:14 am) I get very close to the same mileage. If I drive at 60 on cruise, I get 40-41 mpg. If I step it up to 65-75 my mileage drops to 34-35mpg. On trips, I can't drive only 60 as it would just take longer than I could bear. Wish something could be done to get 40mpg at 70 mph.

"Wish something could be done to get 40mpg at 70 mph."   Buy a Corolla with a manual transmission and put a lot of air in the tires.
#40 of 304 Re: M.P.G. for 2006 corolla 5 speed vs. automatic? [nfriday] by emmettrose1962 Mar 03, 2006 (10:38 am)
Replying to: nfriday (Oct 30, 2005 5:18 pm) Most salesmen will blow smoke up your butt; whatever it takes to sell a car. I got 35+ mpg on my very first tank, driving from the dealer to my home, about 100 miles away. I bought the 2006 LE with auto. With approx. 1500 miles on the car I got 38.2 mpg at 70-75 mph; 36.5 mpg at 80-85 mph, on a trip to N. Carolina from NY. This was with the temperature around 55 degrees outside, (if it matters). These are great cars for the $. I paid $17000 even before tax and tags, with wheels and a roof. I'm extrememy happy with my car. I came from a maxima, but started to freak out this past summer when the gas prices soared. I saw the writing on the wall and made the switch to a reasonable car. Never looked back.
