That's for the 4-speed and there's a 3-speed as well, along with a manual version. How do I know if mine is a 4 or a 3 speed? But back to the main issue, according to this, a 2001 Corolla is supposed to get 26 mpg city, which is what I recorded, and 36 mpg highway, in which I recorded a 39 mpg run which was mostly highway. So... yeah. But come on, that's a big gap between city and highway, right? ...right? I wasn't overreacting guys! Why would there be such a huge gap? WHY? But could anything that I did to the car have affected the mileage and in which way would it have affected it - increasing mpg or decreasing? Surely 0W-20 should increase mileage, right? Car's got 100,000 miles on it if it matters, and it feels like it's been through better days.
