Gas Milage 1999 Corolla

[VBdenny]

Just bought this Corolla in NJ and drove it back. Running up to 80 at time, never much below 75 except for redlights on the eastern shore, I got slightly over 36mpg. This car has a 5-speed, how does that compare?

Thanks

Hi Denny-

That mileage seems to be in the right range. I have a '99 LE (automatic) and was getting in the high thirties on the highway, low thirties around town. Had a drop in mileage last year and working to find out exactly why. But still its pretty good. I've heard reports on other forums of people getting 40+ on the road, but dont actually know anyone. I think (but dont know for sure) that the window sticker gives expected mileage rating something like 29/33 or in that range. Anyway, if your clipping right along ( ya,.... 80 's clipping along) and doing better than

35 mpg thats probably about as good as it gets.

Good luck with the car

Ted
