My girlfriend drove us to Huntsville yesterday in her Corolla. She got 203 miles on 6.1 gallons of gas when all was said and done, which is 34MPG when rounded. The A/C was on, the cr.ctrl was used most of the time, and it has 20,000 miles on it. |

Hey Ya'll!!! I have a '97 Corolla CE 1.6 lt. 100 HP  5600 RPM. Still works like new (well, almost). My Brother and Father have newer models of the Corolla and tell me that there's room for improvement. One of the things my brother noticed on his '99 was that the aerodynamics we're awful compared to my '97. I can ride down the interstate at 80 MPH and notice some road noise and mild wind resistance in my '97, so my bro lets me test drive his '99 and WOW, he wasn't kiddin!!! The '99 can't handle 80 MPH on a breezy day, it was being pushed around like an ice cube on a hot skillet!!! the '99 has a stronger engine (120 HP 5600 RPM) but lacks the aerodynamics and weight to make it all worth while. My dad's '02 is similar to the '99. I have a good car that's almost 10 years old and one day (I dred this day), I'll have to get a new car. I'm sad that the corolla has been shrunk into a compact sized car. I'd like to see Toyota make a mid-sized corolla like my '97. Oh well...that's all for now. Tell me if you've noticed the same on the '98 and later model Corollas.

Hi, Just purchased a Corolla LE about a month ago. I'm happy to say that I've been getting 30 MPG city. |

Note: all the units I use here will be in metric...dunno how to convert them into miles Hmm...I just recently measured my Corolla's mileage when I took a trip from Toronto to Kingston (approximately 250km apart). Good day, good weather. Driving between 100km/h and 105km/h (approximately 60 to 65 mph?), by the time I get to Kingston I got 5.6L/100km. Which is pretty good. How do you convert to MPG?

Replying to: corollaaddict (Apr 11, 2006 7:52 am) 100 / 8 = 12.5 x 5 = 62.5 mph I think this is it. |

Replying to: corollaaddict (Apr 11, 2006 7:52 am) Those are pretty round numbers, of course.

I've been following the break in instructions. No 55MPH, no highway, only city stop light driving. I got 32MPG my first tank. I hear this might improve to 34MPG as it gets broken in, that would be awesome! I will warn you.. I've been a "2 footed, ride the brake driver" in the past, but I'm trying for good MPG driving this new car. The tach on the LE helps a lot. If you take it easy on a start you can keep the RPM's under 2,000 and still not PO the people behind you. I still catch myself goosing it from a light, breaking hard at stops, but I'm getting better. 32MPG 100% in town from someone that doesn't drive like grandma all the time, and the car isn't even broken in is nice.... My goal is 34MPG in town. And it seems like I've got a great chance at doing it after the break-in period. I was looking at getting a Yaris, but for only $1,000 more than a stripped down Yaris I got a totally loaded Corolla LE ($13,995 including cruise and CD changer) The good part is I think I'll get the same MPG as the little Yaris, but have a classy ride to boot! - Joe |
