How many miles can a Corolla go on a full tank?

On a full tank, a gasoline Toyota Corolla typically travels about 400–530 miles, while the Corolla Hybrid can push toward 600–620 miles depending on conditions. The exact figure depends on the model year, drivetrain, tank size, and driving style.


Gasoline Corolla: range on a full tank


The following figures apply to current gasoline-only Corolla models and summarize the main factors that determine range.


Tank capacity



  • Fuel tank capacity: 13.2 gallons for most modern gasoline Corolla models.


Fuel economy



  • EPA-estimated combined fuel economy for gasoline Corollas typically ranges from about 30 to 40 miles per gallon, depending on year, trim, and transmission.


Estimated range (gasoline): roughly 396–528 miles per tank, calculated by multiplying the tank capacity by the combined mpg range.


Hybrid Corolla: range on a full tank


The hybrid variant pairs high efficiency with a smaller tank, which changes the mileage outcome.


Tank capacity



  • Fuel tank capacity: about 11.6 gallons for Corolla Hybrid models.


Fuel economy



  • EPA-estimated combined fuel economy for the Corolla Hybrid is typically about 52–53 miles per gallon.


Estimated range (hybrid): roughly 600–615 miles per tank, depending on driving conditions.


Real-world factors that affect range


Actual mileage per tank can vary widely beyond EPA estimates. Several factors influence how far you can go on a full tank.



  • Driving speed and style: higher speeds and rapid acceleration increase fuel use.

  • Terrain and elevation: hills, headwinds, and mountainous routes reduce efficiency.

  • Climate control and accessories: air conditioning, heating, and other electrical loads matter.

  • Vehicle load and tire pressure: heavier loads and underinflated tires lower mpg.

  • Maintenance and fuel quality: proper maintenance and using the recommended fuel grade help preserve efficiency.


In practice, real-world range is often lower in stop-and-go city driving and higher on sustained highway trips.


Summary


The gasoline Corolla generally delivers about 400–530 miles per full tank, depending on driving conditions and trim, while the Corolla Hybrid typically reaches around 600–615 miles per tank thanks to higher efficiency and a smaller tank. For precise numbers, check the EPA ratings for your exact model year and configuration, and consider how your daily driving patterns might affect range.

How many miles can a 2016 Corolla go on a full tank?


Fuel & MPG
382.8/501.6 mi. 13.2 gal.



Can I drive 20 miles with the gas light on?


Take. We don't recommend it just because. If you do end up running out of gas. That's really when the damage can occur. Um you don't want your fuel pump to suck. Air instead of fuel.



How many miles does a Toyota Corolla get per gallon?


A Toyota Corolla gets between 29 and 53 miles per gallon (MPG), depending on the model year, trim, and whether it is a gasoline or hybrid version. Gas models typically get around 31-32 MPG city and 40-41 MPG highway, while the hybrid versions can achieve up to 53 MPG city and 46 MPG highway for front-wheel-drive models. 
Gas-powered models

  • LE: 32 MPG city / 41 MPG highway / 35 MPG combined 
  • SE: 31 MPG city / 40 MPG highway / 34 MPG combined 
  • XSE: 31 MPG city / 40 MPG highway / 34 MPG combined 

Hybrid models
  • Hybrid LE (FWD): 53 MPG city / 46 MPG highway
  • Hybrid SE (FWD): 50 MPG city / 43 MPG highway
  • Hybrid LE (AWD): 51 MPG city / 44 MPG highway
  • Hybrid SE (AWD): 47 MPG city / 41 MPG highway 



How far can a Corolla go on a full tank?


The estimated range of an entire Corolla fuel tank for gasoline models is 396 miles at 30 miles per gallon and 528 miles at 40 miles per gallon fuel efficiency.
