Hi:
I just registered for this forum, and this is my first post.
I own a 2007 Corolla that I love. The only problem is fuel economy. The car is rated at 30/35 by the EPA. I know thats an inflated figure.But the car only gets 20 mpg in ANY configuration, IE in town, on the road, or a combination.
I've discussed this with the dealer. They tell me 2 things.
1) That unless there is a check engine light on, there is nothing that can be done.
2) They also tell me that the car needs to broken in, and until the car has at least 10,000.00 miles on it, it won't get even close to the posted mileage figures. The car currently had a little over 5000 miles on it.
The car runs perfectly, but that alone is not enough. I bought the car for it's alleged fuel economy.
Any suggestions as to what I can do to get either the dealer, or Toyota corporate to get off their rear end and do something about this?
Thanks
