First introduced in 1968 as a modest two-door subcompact, the Toyota Corolla has grown remarkably in stature and sales, with 30 million Corollas sold from inception through 2005. Not surprisingly, gas mileage has always been a big part of the Corolla’s appeal.While the Corolla’s gas mileage peaked in the 1984 model year, a clean used Corolla of any vintage can be an excellent choice for folks on a tight budget. The most economical version of the 2008 Toyota Corolla delivers a high of 37 miles per gallon on the highway when equipped with a five-speed manual transmission.
