It should be noted that this is just the official data. In actual driving, if you drive smoothly, avoid sudden acceleration and sudden braking, and maintain a reasonable speed, the actual fuel consumption per kilometer may be lower. On the contrary, if you often drive in a hurry or drive in congested traffic, the fuel consumption per kilometer may be higher.
Q
How to improve the fuel efficiency of Toyota Corolla?
To improve the fuel efficiency of Toyota Corolla, you can adopt several strategies. First of all, develop a smooth - driving habit. Avoid sudden acceleration and hard braking because these actions will increase the engine's workload and consume more fuel. Instead, you should gradually accelerate when starting and smoothly decelerate when stopping. Maintaining a steady speed, especially on the highway, also works. For example, keep your speed within the range where the engine operates most efficiently. For many Corolla models, this range is approximately 60 - 90 kilometers per hour.
Secondly, choose high - quality fuel. Premium fuel usually has better combustion performance, which allows the fuel in the engine to burn more completely, reducing waste and improving fuel economy.
Thirdly, make sure your vehicle is well - maintained. Replace the engine oil regularly as recommended because fresh oil can reduce internal engine friction. In addition, ensure that your tire pressure is at the appropriate level; under - inflated tires will increase rolling resistance, thus increasing fuel consumption.
Finally, lighten the vehicle load. Remove any unnecessary items from the trunk or the interior of the vehicle because the extra weight will make the engine use more energy to drive the vehicle. By following these suggestions, you can enhance the fuel efficiency of your Toyota Corolla and save on fuel costs over time.
Q
How can I reduce the fuel consumption of my Toyota Corolla?
If you want to reduce the fuel consumption of Toyota Corolla, you can try the following methods. First, in terms of driving habits, you should drive at a constant speed and adjust your speed properly. Avoid sudden acceleration and hard braking, because such aggressive maneuvers require the engine to burn more fuel in a short period to generate power, thus increasing fuel consumption. Anticipate road conditions in advance. By estimating traffic conditions, you can gradually and evenly accelerate or decelerate earlier, which can improve fuel efficiency. When driving at high speeds, try not to open the windows, as an open window increases wind resistance, which will increase the resistance when the vehicle is moving. As a result, the engine needs to consume more fuel to maintain the speed.
When it comes to vehicle maintenance, you should regularly check the tire pressure to ensure it's normal. Incorrect tire pressure can increase rolling resistance and therefore fuel consumption. Service your vehicle regularly. Replace the air filter, engine oil, spark plugs, etc. according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations to ensure the normal operation of the vehicle's engine and good fuel economy.
In addition, reducing the vehicle's load by cleaning the interior and the trunk to lighten the vehicle weight also helps lower fuel consumption.
Q
Which model of Toyota Corolla is the most fuel efficient?

Toyota Corolla has always been a "star" model in terms of fuel efficiency. With its mature engine technology and excellent gearbox tuning, it can ensure full combustion of fuel. In the daily commuting conditions in the city, the combined fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is approximately between 5.5 and 6.5 liters. Moreover, the Corolla has low maintenance costs and high parts compatibility, which saves both worry and money in the later use. Therefore, It's a great choice for family cars.
Q
How far can Toyota Corolla travel on an empty fuel tank?
Generally speaking, when the fuel gauge shows an empty state, the Toyota Corolla can theoretically travel about 40 to 50 kilometers. However, this distance is affected by factors such as the vehicle brand, model, road conditions, and driving habits. For example, in congested urban traffic, frequent starting and stopping will increase fuel consumption, causing a shorter driving distance. On the highway, maintaining a relatively stable speed may allow the vehicle to travel a longer distance.
The fuel tank capacity of different years and versions of the Toyota Corolla is mostly 50L. When the fuel indicator lights up, there is usually 5 - 10 liters of fuel left in the vehicle. But this figure is not always accurate. You can check the vehicle manual for specific information. It should be noted that don't wait until the fuel gauge shows empty before refueling. Driving with low fuel for a long time can potentially damage parts such as the vehicle's fuel pump and may affect its service life.
