Really wouldnβt see great mpgs sitting going the same speed the whole time. You need the electric motors to help assist you on coasting as long as you can, and then kick the engine back up to speed up a little and charge the battery, and do it again. I managed 60mpg in our 2009 Prius last week doing this technique. It also really depends on the road, if thereβs hills, and all other sorts of things. Probably also how that guy managed almost 100mpg in a Prius that he took across the country. Thatβs just how you have to drive a hybrid if you want the best mpgs. My mom will drive that same Prius and always manage 40mpg, but I can get it up to 60 with how I drive it.
Don't use eco until you are cruising at a constant speed. Eco makes mpg worse when trying to accellerate
Those 18β wheels on the spec you drove are what kept you from hitting 60mpg. If you had the base LE trim with smaller wheels, Iβm sure youβd make it.
I go to that Marathon a couple times a month. Fun to see it here lol.
I second doing this with the new civic hybrid, I'm thinking of getting one but have reservation about how good the mpg really is on the highway!
Also you are a stronger man than I, being from Texas, no A/C is not an option for me LOL
Next time do his on a cool, not cold fall day. The air will be thicker for better combustion and neither the AC nor the heat will be needed. Nice work.
regular corolla should able to get 50 mpg for the same trip/condition/etc. there was a time when speed limit was 55mph for a reason. AC should not make much of an impact considering it's an electric motor but ambiance temp does make a difference.
You were driving too slow
Hey so I have a brand new 2025 Camry a few things I noticed trying to drive the car at a constant speed it Lowkey does worse on mpg idk itβs slightly weird the first road trip I did I got really baby mpg like 40 or something, my second and third round trips I got 44 and 48 doing 65-75 on that last trip it seemed the faster I let the car run with out just dumping gas and stepping in the accelerator hard it did better
try honda civic hybrid please
My Kia Rio consistently gets 42-45MPG on highway trips and that's with normal driving. Usually 39MPG mixed driving, down to 36 in the winter. It's combustion only and unfortunately discontinued as of earlier this year. Great value for money and should be a steal on the used market if you can find one.
Do hellcat plz.
amazing how much more the Prius gets with the same powertrain, how'd that guy get into the 90sMPG driving cross country?
The LE and LE convenience package versions get higher MPGs due to smaller rims.
This was awesome to watch
That is a very good number showing on the cluster. 57 mpg. Nice.
My 2004 seat ibiza 1,4 gets about 40 mpg(US) driving at a 55 mph, and that is with AC on.
Combustion engines really haven't improved a whole lot in 20 years, I was expecting 60+ mpg especially in a hybrid system.
54 mpg when my Tahoe gets 15 mpg lol
This is so interesting, in Australia with my Corolla Hybrid Hatch with the 5th gen hybrid system, I average 3.5l/100km (67mi/gal)
It would have been smarter to do this within the city, because driving a hybrid on the highway kind of defeats the purpose of a hybrid with its regenerative braking and everything.
I looked a lot at mpg numbers with the corolla hybrid on the internet and what i've found is that there is a big hit in mpg with the 18" wheels and awd. I've seen some LE fwd with the 16" (usa) or 15" (canada) hit like 68 mpg. The fwd with 18" or the the LE 16" with awd around 58 mpg and if you have it all like an XLE awd 18" on the highway, sometimes as low as 46 mpg. It would be interesting if you could find a base one fwd with small wheels to see what kind of numbers you could get!
Even 54 mpg cant make me buy that thing. Ill splurge a little more and wait on a deal for a hybrid civic or elantra. π
Do this with the Honda Civic.
Turning the AC on (like 73-74 degrees) at cruising speed wouldn't have a huge impact on MPG… But it's city driving, as well as when the temperature is set super low, that the system is truly being pushed.
Nice
My parents were looking for a hybrid and they were interested in the corolla. Its a great car. However we managed to get a brand new prius prime for 23k out the door. So we went for that instead of the corolla hybrid. Both are great cars for sure, but the MPGs on the prius is just insane.
I watched a TFL video on mileage for two F150s with a 3.3 and 3.73 rear end. The 3.73 did better in mileage. Even though the RPMs were higher, the 3.73 put the engine in the max power spot.
You know itβs hot when heβs not wearing his green shirt! π π₯΅
Next time try filling it with 94 octane from Sunoco
Now do it with Altima energy (going 90, windows down, AC blasting, music blaring) and see what you get
Love this style of video, very relatable.
