Hi all, I purchased a 2022 Corolla hybrid recently. I notice that the distance to empty declines rapidly. For example, for a 5 mile journey, if I start at 155 miles distance to empty, by the end of the journey, it comes down to about 147 miles. I wanted to understand if this is normal and how...

May 20, 2022 - 1st fill up. 550.1km travelled. 40.424L to fill tank. (I had it in my mind that it had a 50L tank) Equates to 7.348L/100km. Vehicles stated fuel economy: 7.7L/100km. Definitely anticipate I can reach 600km/tank without making too many adjustments. There were several times during...

Hello all, We have 2 2020 Corollas (1 SE & 1LE) in the household as well as a 2018 Corolla LE. I noticed that in the 2020 SE with the Dynamic Shift CVT, the car shortens its gearing as the speed rises. The 2020 LE and my 2018 LE with the standard CVT gear down to their longest ratio and hold...

Hey, this is my first post. I'm looking to buy a 5 spd 4x4 1997-2004 First gen tacoma in the next couple weeks. And am weighing the options between the 2.7 and 3.4. I want as good gas mileage as possible but also want to be able to tow/haul when needed, typically no more than a medium trailer or...

Hello, I'm a new Toyota owner. I've been doing my own car work for 20 years and have gone to school for automotive tech, with high performance power train, and chassis fabrication specialization. I've owned my 2 door 2003 manual echo for about 8 months. I bought it for $500. This is my first...

So I’m curious as to why my distance to empty keeps going down every time I fill up my tank. When I first purchased the car it was 425 miles to empty. Then it went to 416 and now it’s at 395.

For those of you who have experience towing with the 2020 Highlander or Highlander Hybrids, I kindly request that you share the following: Hybrid or non-hybrid Your average fuel economy without the trailer Your average fuel economy with the trailer The total weight of your trailer (including...

So my wife was just blessed with a 2000 Sienna and it's absolutely beautiful and we love it. However, as we've been driving it we have been logging the fuel mileage using an app called FillUp. According to the app the van is only getting about 14 mpg. Does this sound right or am I missing...

Just brought my car into two different shops, Ford (where I got it from) and an official Toyota Dealership to check on my fuel efficiency. I'm having issues with the early "gears" not "shifting" on my CVT which is resulting in fuel inefficiencies ranging from 10L /100km on Sports Mode and...

I bought a 2011 Toyota Matrix XRS 2.4Li in 2014. At the time I got around 500km to the tank. About a year ago (maybe further but I hadn't noticed as much or wrote it off in mind) the fuel efficiency started to decline. I always reset the trip meter on fill up so I keep regular tabs on it. By...

For the 1st 2 1/2 years, after I filled up with regular gas, I saw the estimated range to be around 430 miles in the winter and 450 miles in the summer. Starting from December of 2017 and through the winter so far, that range has dropped to 370. In fact, even when the fuel gauge shows a 3/4 full...

Quick background.... 6 weeks ago I changed the timing belt on my wife's new to us 2007 Highlander Hybrid (80,000 miles). This was my first big project on the car or any hybrid for that matter. I ran in to some snags along the way, but ultimately finished the job and fired it up. During the...

I have been watching my fuel economy creep down over the past 2 years and both independent and dealer mechanics seem to have no ideas as to why. I have read the other postings but they don't seem to answer my issue. I am getting U.S. 16 MPG whether I'm on the highway or around town. It does...

Hello everyone Anyone actually get the PT758-03110. I personally think they look really cool. Any issues with the TPMS? Do you need to reset them or as long as they stay with the same car you do not need to recode them? Any loss of fuel economy? What do they mean liquidmetal finish? My...

Hi everyone, My 2000 Camry LE (2.2L/auto) has 169k miles on it and recently started getting only 19 mpg or so. Couldn't tell if it was gradual or no as its my wife's car and she doesn't exactly pay attention to mileage. The front A/F sensor (cali emissions) was replaced with a Denso one...

My '90 Corolla LE sedan shifts into and out of high gear at 43 miles an hour. Is this normal behavior? I'd like it to shift at a much lower speed (at the expense of acceleration, I realize). Since I suspect there is a rather complicated operation going on inside the engine computer, my brute...

Hello all. I have a 94 2wd 22re DLX auto with 173000 miles. Its my daily driver @ 50 miles a day travel with a 50/50 spread on hwy/city. I'm getting 15-18 mpg with mixed driving, (easy driving mostly) I've inspected and replace all anything bad on the ignition side (have not checked timing)...

I own a 2013 Camry LE that's about 7 months old and has not quite 11k miles. When I first bought the car the computer would indicate a 424 mile cruising range upon fill-up. Recently I noticed that that number seems to have dropped to around 390. I thought gas mileage was supposed to improve...

Hey guys, I have been looking around for quite awhile trying to find better ways to improve the fuel efficiency of my 2000 toyota camry 2.2L. I have heard air filters and exhaust are best but do not want to touch the exhaust. Will not changing the exhaust dramatically effect air filter...

I've recently purchased my 96 corolla from a private owner. The mileage on the vehicle is still relatively low for the age of the vehicle and the car runs pretty well. Doesn't sputter, doesn't hesitate, no smoke from the tail pipe. Starts every time. Soon after purchasing the car I realized...
