2005 Toyota Corolla guzzling gas, need advice on how to fix it

[MikeLV]

Got a tune up, new Plugs, wires, rotors, fuel injectors, cabin and engine air filter., and still its just going through gas alot faster than it should, any ideas on how to ID and fix the cause?

What do you average for a full tank?

Do a code read.?..guessing can be expensive.

Maybe a MAF issue.?

Hi,

Would help if you mention what  model / engine  / type  you have, and what type of driving you do, eg lot of slow city  driving or mainly motorway and are you heavy footed / boy racer etc ?

Is the car new to you  or is it sudden problem   ?   what mpg are you getting ?  our 1.6 typically gives 40mpg mixed driving.

Assume you have changed the engine oil and filter ?

When you say 'rotors' do your mean brake discs ? have you checked the brake pistons or handbrake are not causing brake drag ?

Agreed need more info. What mpg you getting? Guessing you've noticed the increase. My TSport will do between 30 and 35 mpg 🤦‍♀️ still worth it
