Gas mileage ? on an 05 corolla - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hey guys, i know the corolla is rated at 32/41 as far as mpg. On the 41 miles per gallon highway, does anyone know at what speed they're talking about? Is it 55 mph, 65 mph, or something else?

And yes i realize its probably closer to 35 highway.

God, I can't remember where I saw it, but for "City," it's something like a 9 mile course with 18 stops? and "Highway" is at 57 MPH.

That sucks. they should reflect faster highway speeds. Around here about 95% of the freeways are 65 mph. In california its the same thing (at least in san diego). Outside the city here its even 75mph and in cali its 70mph. nobody goes in the 50's anymore and i'm not talking about speeding. the speed limits are just plain higher these days.
