Exactly! I always try to drive at a steady speed and avoid quick starts.
Don’t forget about the weight in your car! Extra passengers or cargo can lower your MPG too.
Wow, I just realized this is like a MPG support group! What’s next, a 12-step program for driving efficiently? 
Haha! If only it were that easy! But hey, every little tip helps, right?
I’ve been thinking about switching to synthetic oil to see if it helps with MPG. Anyone here tried that?
I have a 2012 Corolla and I’m averaging around 28 MPG in mixed driving. It’s pretty reliable for my daily commute!
That’s solid! What was your previous car? I’m curious about how it compares fuel-wise.

I switched from a Honda Civic, and the MPG was similar, but I felt the Corolla was a bit peppier. Anyone else notice this?

I’ve heard that the 2012 Corolla can deliver up to 36 MPG on the highway. That’s impressive for a compact sedan!
Yes, woodslynn! On long trips, I’ve hit around 35 MPG! It’s your driving style and conditions that make a difference.

Great advice, lindacoleman! I’ve also read that consistent driving speed helps too. Any thoughts?
Absolutely! Speeding isn’t just a ticket risk; it impacts your MPG significantly especially in a Corolla.
I’ve had the opposite experience! I didn’t think it was that good on gas compared to some competitors. Anyone prefer an Elantra?
Interesting! I think the Elantra has a sportier feel, but the Corolla is more reliable long-term. What do others think?
Reliability is key for sure. I’d take that over a few extra MPG any day! Plus, the Corolla’s resale value is fantastic.
