Thats 9.31 L/100kms - right in the range for Corolla's from 2005 on atleast. I don't know what model yours is. Mine is Dec '05 and returns between 9.1 (rarely) and 12.9 L/100kms. Anyone not sure how to calculate litres/100 kilometers - (applogies to those who already know) Divide the number of litres used by the number of kilometres travelled and then multiply by 100. ie 45/400 = 0.1125 0.1125 * 100 = 11.25 l/100kms

Have a Nov 2005 Hatch Auto Conquest for 4 months now and is driven in Sydney most of the time. Fuel consumption at best is 9.8 l/100kms and worst 13.4 l/100kms. Not that impressed. But it appears about average for city driving compared with other responses here. Had a six cylinder car before this that matched or bettered the Corolla and had a lot more grunt. Use 91 octane BP most of the time but have tried higher octane fuels for a couple of fills but still fell within the same range. Does anyone have the following problem with their Corolla. Lights go green - touch accelerator - nothing happens momentarily and it then moves off with a '*****' like you were trying to race someone but once moving acceleration is leisurly. Slow down behind another car almost to a stop and car in front moves off so you lightly squeeze the accelerator to move off with them and same no response then a snatch as the transmission seems to wake up that its supposed to be drive the wheels. I am surprised at this lack of refinement in what should be a well developed car. Before I took delivery of this car the previous car a loan car 2006 Corolla was the same so I don't think this is an isolated case. This condition may contribute to poor city fuel consumption as you cant drive smoothly.
