MPG toyota question!!?

kILOWAN

Hey! I'm just wondering what is the most efficient speed in miles per hour (MPH) for the most flat (0% grade) highway miles to the gallon (MPG). My car is a 2001 Toyota corolla CE in great condition! 4 cylinder, I use unleaded gasoline, the cheapest of course, should i be using unleaded or mid-grade i'm not sure?. I just want to know how to get the absolute most for my money in gasoline. I know it's bewteen 50-65 mph though. But i've heard it all depends on how new your car is and what type of engine and what not.















I was also wondering if you should go a different speed on steep grades such as up or down a canyon (5% or 6% grade) for the most mgp you can get?















Any pointers would be awesome!















-thanks!

For best MPG figure about 60 mpg on the highway, but sometimes that's difficult to do because everybody else is doing 75 to 80 and when you get to a merge ramp you'll piss people off.































Anyway, when you go up hill, keep the accelerator constant. You'll make up the difference when you come down the other side.































The grade of gas has little impact.































Keep your air cleaner fresh, this is the nicest thing you can do for mpg. It helps the engine breath.































Keep your tires at the rated pressure, it's unreal how much this affects your mileage and even more bazzare how many people blow this one off. Don't think it matters, ride a bike with low tire pressure and then fill them up and note the difference.































Corolla's are cool. We own two and I love them! Sometimes I can actually get my new one up to 45 mpg! It' takes some coaxing though. By the way, in city driving you do best if you time your lights and avoid quick starts from stop signs or lights.































Be cool!
