The sedan market for most manufacturers continues to lose ground against the increasing popularity of SUVs. However, Toyota sedans still capture the lion’s share of sedan sales because of their quality craftsmanship and excellent fuel economy ratings. We’ve shared some handy information like how much fuel a toyota corolla uses and more in the table below:

These ratings represent the best available mpg ratings. Certain trims with optional powertrain equipment experience a 1-2 mpg drop.

Toyota Trucks Efficiency Ratings

Toyota Tacoma and Tundra pickups have powerful engines, and their capability makes them excellent options for work or play. However, as shown below, Toyota offers multiple engines and 4×2 or 4×4 configurations that impact EPA estimates.

As you can see, the 4×2 drivetrain achieves the highest efficiency. Other powertrain and package options can result in slightly lower EPA estimates.

Toyota SUVs Efficiency Ratings

Toyota’s SUV lineup covers every segment, from compact crossovers to full-size SUVs. You’ll find impressive style, useful space, and the capability to handle most road and weather conditions in each category. You’ll also see excellent fuel economy that puts Toyota SUVs at the head of the class.

Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles

Toyota hybrid electric vehicles provide the best way to save money at the gas pump, as they can also fuel up with electricity. Toyota has produced a lineup of hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles for years, so you will likely find one on the used market. We’ve listed the most recent models in the table below. Because these cars use some electricity, the EPA expresses their estimates as a combination mpge.

Additional Ways To Save on Gas

The price per gallon fluctuates but never seems cheap enough. Therefore, you should be judicious in how you use it. Driving habits such as speeding or quick acceleration burn more fuel. Ditch the lead foot, and you’ll save the equivalent of $0.30/gallon. Turning off your engine while waiting in traffic or long lines can save up to $0.03/minute.

Keeping your car tuned and tires properly inflated can also save money through more efficient driving. Old spark plugs can reduce efficiency by 30%, and underinflated tires lower efficiency by another 10%. Refueling late at night or in the early morning can save you even more money because you pay by volume. In cooler temperatures, gas becomes denser. As a result, you get more gas for your money.
