2014 370z Sport only 11 mpg

I personally believe shifting at 3k~4k is a bit high. And I'm willing to bet your foot is heavy on the pedal. You should shift under 3k with easier acceleration

part of that post was a joke.

but the other part is that the corolla's first gear is geared pretty low for quick take offs.

and i know cause i made the mistake of owning one long time ago...well, i bought it for the wife to use, but anyway, i paid for it cash even.
