I think they are already dumping the winter fuel additives in... average is down to 35mpg (granted, 60/40 city/highway)

I love my new 06 Corolla S - great look and ride. But after 3 tanks - still only getting 22MPG around town (no highway driving at all). Can I expect this to go up to the 30's like everyone else gets around town?

My wife has a 06 Corolla S ( auto ) with about 3800 miles on it and she is getting 30+ with all city driving. We live in North East Ohio and I don't think they started adding the winter fuel additives yet, so this may change. However the mileage has been very good with only one tank full under 30 mpg since we purchased the car in May and that was in August when she ran the A/C constantly. If you are use to driving a bigger car with more power you may have to adjust your driving habits.

So far, I filled up 3 times in the 3 weeks that I have the 2007 LE. 2/3's highway miles and 1/3 city. Averaging 31 MPG. Hope to do a little better soon. It's got 900 miles on it.

My average is right around 37-38mpg highway. During the summer I'll peak at around 44 and in the winter drop down to about 34.
My '88 FX has 207k miles on it and is in tip top shape.

Winter fuel additives

I live in North East Ohio and I believe they start using winter fuel additives around the end of October. My wife's 06 Corolla S was averaging 30+ since she bought it in May.
However since the end of October her mileage has dropped to about 27 or 28 mpg. Nothing in her driving habits has changed. We still fill up at the same place. Still use 87 Octane and the car seems to run and idle the same. Just the difference in the mpg. I was told the reason for the winter fuel additives is to prevent fuel line freeze up. The gas itself wont freeze but the condensation in the lines could freeze and cause the car to stop running. I believe they remove the additives around the end of March or early April.

Yes I do. I am retired and golf season is just about over here in Ohio, so I have a lot of time on my hands and it gives me one more thing to drive my wife nuts with.

I had a rental 2004 LE auto for a week about two years ago. I got 42 MPG on average. I simply did not believe that it is TRUE. After using the navigation system of my Lexus to check how many miles it really is from my home to my work in addition to MapQuest, it turned out that the Corolla recorded 23 miles for a 17 mile trip. The real average MPG for that Corolla is about 31 MPG as compared to a 24 MPG of my Lexus.

I don't know about your rental Corolla or how you came up with the 6 mile difference, but my wife has a 2006 Corolla S auto and up until last month when they started adding the winter additives in the gas she averaged 30 + in the city and around 38 + on all highway driving. I have never noticed a difference in the trip or actual odometer readings either and I do pay attention to the mileage.
