Is it normal for a Corolla to run 400 kilometers on a full tank of gas?

It is normal for a Corolla to run 400 kilometers on a full tank of gas. Here is some information about the Toyota Corolla: 1. Exterior: The sharp and aggressive look of the high-brightness four-round-lens crystal diamond headlights at the front gives the Corolla a poised and ready-to-go appearance. The chrome horizontal front grille smoothly extends the lines to both sides and continues backward along the headlights, creating a dynamic front profile. 2. Discontinuation time: In fact, FAW Toyota had planned to discontinue the Corolla as early as 2007, but due to strong recognition from domestic consumers, FAW Toyota delayed the discontinuation by ten years. After the Corolla was discontinued, the Corolla based on the new TNGA platform became its replacement.
I think 400 km per tank for a Corolla is on the low side. The fuel tank is about 50 liters, and the typical fuel consumption is around 7-8 liters per 100 km, so theoretically it should be able to run over 600 km. I've been driving an older Corolla for ten years, and even in heavy city traffic, the worst I've gotten is 450 km. If you frequently slam on the brakes, accelerate aggressively, or have the trunk loaded with heavy items, fuel consumption will definitely spike. Also, check the tire pressure—low tire pressure can increase fuel consumption by 10%. Engine carbon buildup and running the AC at the lowest temperature are also fuel guzzlers. I recommend downloading a fuel consumption app to track it for a month. If it consistently stays below 450 km, you should check the oxygen sensor and air filter—replacing the spark plugs can also save some fuel.
