2001 Corolla with 206k miles - 5 speed stick shift
That is right.
I filled my tires to 40PSI !!!
City - 38mpg
Freeway - 43mpg
What do you guys think?
Now here is a problem......
I burn FOUR QUARTS of OIL per GAS TANK on the freeway.. 430 MILES of driving.
Four quarts means 12 dollars added to a full tank of gas I am filling in. (let's say $3.00/QUART)
At 3.5 dollars per gallon, I pay $35.00 per gallon. $12.00 for oil so it is costing me $47.00 dollars per gas tank.
Working backwards.... to get real time fuel economy..
$47 dollars at every gas fill is LIKE using 13.43 gallons of fuel for every 430 miles. ($47 divided by the price of $3.5/gallon) = 13.43 gallons
FUEL ECONOMY == 430 miles / 13.43 = 32MPG ----- LOL !!!!!
It is a 1000 dollar car, I can't spend 4000 on an engine replacement... what do you guys think ?
I think it is ok for me to continue driving just the way it is with a 32mpg.
Have you ever heard of a car burning that much oil?
I have not !!
