Even if they tweaked the 1.8L to get more power, seems to me they should have left it alone to get better gas milage, and those wanted a zippier car could choose the 2.4L. My reasoning is that most people by this car as a gas saver, not a track star!

Why would compare a 2007 to the 2009 instead of 2008 to the 2009 that both use the same testing methods?
Regardless, only the 1.8 with automatic has improved mileage compared to the old Corolla. Every other version of the 2009 has disappointing mileage.
