#67 of 304 Re: M.P.G. for 2006 corolla 5 speed vs. automatic? [emmettrose1962] by friendly_jacek Jun 25, 2006 (8:59 pm)
Replying to: emmettrose1962 (May 21, 2006 12:59 pm) 40 mpg at 80 mph in auto? Outstanding. I wish I would get close to 40 in my 03. I know that 06 has drive-by-wire, but the diffrence in mpg should be nominal. What's your secret?
#68 of 304 1996 DX 1.8L 5-spd manual MPG by duster497 Jun 26, 2006 (2:54 am)
I bought my Lola on May 19th after my money sucking 98 Olds Cutlass wound up in the shop again. With the Cutlass, we were getting about 18-20 around town and about 25-28 on the highway. Granted, that's a V6 and a lead foot. After a month of mostly city driving, some A/C usage and cruise control usage, I'm averaging just under 31MPG around town. I'm a lot easier on this car with my driving habits, but once in a while I get the car a movin'. Took my first 'highway' trip that had a dash of big city traffic thrown in, with some A/C and big hills, we still got 34MPG on that trip. Per fueleconomy.gov, that's right where the numbers should be for my car. I'm super thrilled that my 10yr old Corolla with 159,XXX is still cranking out great mileage.

Replying to: rar256 (May 12, 2006 10:47 am) I bought my 2006 Corolla S last September. My commute is 100 miles per day 85 of which is on the interstate. With the cruise control at 65 mph, I get 38 mpg. Exactly what the EPA estimate is for highway. The worst I have had is 35 mpg when most of the tank is used for running around town and driving hard. Using the AC backs it down to 36 mpg highway. The price is gas is no longer an issue, unless I want to compare how much money I'm saving compared to what I was spending on the same commute with my Tundra or the young guy blasting by me with the dodge super bee pickup truck.
#70 of 304 Engine Braking-2005 Corolla S- 5 Speed by hoopitup2000 Jul 05, 2006 (6:35 pm)
Is Engine Braking with the manual transmission hard on the engine or transmission? I use 3rd gear to coast down a mountain. The engine is turning about 4000 RPM at 55 MPH. I have read that this is detrimental to fuel economy, but I usually get my best MPG on Skyline Drive(driving between 35-40 MPH;mostly in 4th gear). My overall summer average is 39 MPG with 50-50 city and highway driving. On my mountain trips, I get about 41.5. Best ever mileage has been 43 MPG. What a great car!

Replying to: hoopitup2000 (Jul 05, 2006 6:35 pm) No, but it is hard on the clutch if you are not rev-matching on the downshift into 3rd.

before my accident , my 97 DX was giving me 33 mpg in the city
#76 of 304 '96 DX by sandman46 Jul 15, 2006 (3:40 pm)
My old Corolla DX was consistently giving me 33 mpg's with mixed driving so I was pretty happy. But in '03, the paint had faded beyond repair, white, and I was just itching for something cheap & new.   The Sandman
