Likewise with oem 15" rims....though now with 17"ers, the Kitacamry is just 2mph over the sidewalk radar readout....
...interestingly, my cuzin's 05 camry with an AT gets to 50mph @ 1600rpm (in OD) while mine in 5th only gets to 42mph @ 1600 rpm....

those years are all oil burners. regular people don't check oil, LOL.

OP: add me in. 03 corolla S, 3000 RPM @ 75 MPH (IIRC).

I don't like the 03 corollas because they increased in weight without any changes to the engine to compensate for the added weight.

I took a 2008 Corolla S(60k miles on it) to Chicago and back, and averaged 32 mpg with 80mph cruising speed.
Also took a 2013 Corolla S rental(20k miles on it) to Chicago and back and averaged 31.5 mpg.
my 00-01 celicas get 34-36 mpg average.
98 corolla did 33 mpg average(with 260k miles on it)
the 99 & 01 corolla average 34-36 mpg average on that same trip.


The 03 Corolla still has plenty of power and mpg though. I like the larger size of the car as well, although it sits a bit high.

I've done 42 mpg (5.6 l/100 km) highway in the 07 Corolla manual transmission. Average speed 110 km/h. On highway 401 traveled approx. ~700 km. RPM would be in the 2.6-2.8k range. Can't remember exactly.
