03 Corolla T Sport Fuel Consumption

[Gkc]

Hi,

I bought my car about a week ago. I'm really confused with the fuel consumption it's doing 25mpg :( is that normal? Also engine makes ticking noise when it's cold.

Thanks

All depends how you drive chap ;)

Staying out of Lift i can get roughly 30mpg during town driving and more on the motorway.

I've heard a few of the 2ZZ engines ticking so don't think it's too much to worry about.

Oh and welcome to the club!

Its fine iv always had circa 28mpg ,oddly its better when i use tesco 99 .so try that

but you have a performance orientated car,if mpg is a issue or nusance i doubt its the right car for you

Thanks for the quick reply 😃 I love the car but just really shocked with the fuel consumption. I will defo try out high octane fuel. Thanks 😃
