sorry, but i think its B.S. when people say "no one can drive normally and get posted mileage figures" or "we need more realistic figures."

on this forum and corolla forums, there are tons of people who drive their corollas and yarii "normally" (that is which minimal effort, just driving reasonably) who get or exceed the pre 2008 mileage figures.

i think MOST drivers are in denial about their driving habits. some people may have gotten cars that are mileage "lemons", but those are few and far between.

Hey most people who say they can't get the listed milage figures, have No Idea on what their driving style really is ! They don't seem to look way down the road at all .The clueless slam on brakes just when they get close to a light , nail it when it turns green just to slam on brakes agin a block down the road at the next light , these are the same people who creast a hill with their foot in it then hit the brakes & stay on the brakes , half way down the other side of the hill . These people are the ones on yer ass following way to close, hitting the binders & gas petal in rapid order all the while Yakkin' on the cell & flashing their lites at you just cause you got 2 M/T car lengths in front of yourself . Now i'm no pussy when when it comes to driving , I nail it when i have to, pop off the line when needed to change lanes / pass someone . but I am aware of what is going on around me & in front of me . My brakes last a long time . a clear sign that i drive Smart ! OK, Rant Over !
