#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.

#18 of 304 200,000 km and still running great by sexydarin Nov 08, 2005 (7:25 pm)
Still get about 700,000 km on a 40L full tank. Driven at over 70+ mph most of the time. Change the oil every 4,000 miles or so. Just a beautiful dependable car. I can't believe it, but is still have all the original exhaust system parts. Haven't had to change the muffler yet. This car is like the energizer bunny. It keeps going and going and going.....   I wish women were as dependable as this car is.
