Well, honestly, it is not that hard. Hypermiling techniques help alot. Also I have a manual transmission. I use cruise control set to 60 mph on the flat interstate, no auxilaries on, I make heavy use of DFCO, I keep the tires inflate well, etc. I am sorry if you do not believe me; that is your prerogative. But I get 52 mpg quite often.

Do you get 52 mpg at the time you're going at 60 mph?
Or do you get average of 52 mpg from the whole tank?

there are many factors . Weather , terrain , gas ( regional additives ) , etc.. Maybe this is why it's harder to accomplish the 50+ mark for us .

. Do you ? I don't .

It is very useful information to some extent. Please help me out regarding this topic going on. Can some one tell me in detail to what exact direction discussion is going on now?

Bigger is not necessarily better. It depends on your personal taste and your needs. The Corolla weights 430lb more then Yaris, which is significant. Especially at the gas pumps or when you're flying around the turns.

Regarding engine, that 1.5L is extremely quick. It doesn't have the low end grunt and clutch take-up sucks. But if you can get past that, it's a very quick engine. The portly Corolla would be hard pressed to keep up with the Yaris, especially those Yaris's that aren't overloaded with the automatic transmission.

Also, at top speed, where weight is no longer the biggest factor, I'm able to easily take my Liftback to cut-out speeds (manual transmission), I doubt the new engine in the Corolla would do better.

speculation makes me

. even on the older 1zzfe my corolla outperformed my xA, stock for stock.

regarding the 1.5L engine being "extremely quick" i'm curious what you drove before you got it? ?

That's just it, it' extremely quick for 1.5L (assuming manual tranny). Also, the xA isn't a Yaris, even if the engine is similar, at the wheels it's a different story.

My last car was a 98 Civic Hatch, which was faster then the Yaris and return better fuel consumption. However, the Yaris was still quicker from 120km to 150km, but after 150km, the Civic was quicker. The fastest car I've driven was a Turbo Supra and the fastest car I've owned was V8 Cutlass Supreme.

so what's the difference then, same engine, same transmission, same axles... how is it "a different story" ?
