#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

#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.

#15 of 304 M.P.G. for 2006 corolla 5 speed vs. automatic? by nfriday Oct 30, 2005 (5:18 pm)
Hi- I am in the market for a new car. I am particularly interested inMazda 3, Honda Civic, and Toyota corolla. I am having a hard time finding 5 speeds and one of the toyota dealers I visited told me that the automatic corollas actually get better MPG than the 5 speeds do. Oh by the way he only had automatic corollas on the lot. He was incorrect wasn't he?

Replying to: nfriday (Oct 30, 2005 5:18 pm) Yes. Stay away from him. Consider this, the guy lied about an information that are readily available to you as a consumer (brochure).

Replying to: nfriday (Oct 30, 2005 5:18 pm) Even if you find a stick to test, you may have to do a special order to get a stick with the options you want. I had to do this back in '98 when I was trying to buy my '99. Takes up to 3 months, but it's worth it.   The salesman was probably lying, but maybe just mistaken. Some automatics do get better mileage than the same car with a stick. It just has to do with the gearing of the final drive ratio.
