I have a good condition 2000 Toyota Corolla VE 4spd Auto with only 100,000km on it. I have done all oil changes and other maintainance consistently in the past years. The car is running on 4 all season michelin tires kept at 32psi all times. I just took it to toyota for regular maintainance and nothing special came up and toyota claims my car is in perfect condition. My brother drives the car now that he has his licence. He started complaining about fuel economy as soon has he started driving it and saying he pulled only about 400-450km on a 50L tank. I was surprised because i pull more (~500km) on my V6 Acura TL which has a slightly larger fuel tank. So I decided to take the corolla for a week and see if i will pull any better mileage. After filling it up at the gas station yesterday I record 9.2l/100km or 25mpg fuel consumption. I traveled about 50% highway and 50% city. Im surprised at such low milage. I mean i pull 23mpg on my V6 TL for the same travel which is not that much worst. Is this normal for a '00 corolla?
