I have had my 09 corolla le for about a month now....best mileage I have gotten is 49, it was hilly terrain and so I purposely coasted down the hills and stayed under 2500rpm to climb them.

average hwy miles is 44

when my wife drives it , she averages around 38...she does not try like i do.

anyway this car seems to far exceed the epa ratings....I am guessing that anyone who just remembers to coast down hills will get in the 40's

I have not even read that much on the different techniques used by ecomodders yet but I really enjoy seeing what I can get.

btw mine is an automatic and we have been in a heat wave here since I got it, so all these numbers are with the a/c wide open
