What causes a toyota corolla year 1997 to consume excess gas?

SOURCE: Remove the radio from 1997 Toyota Corolla

i have a 97 corolla as well, and i've changed the radio out several times on my own. if you take a small screwdriver and stick it in between the panel that goes around the around the area where the radio is, u should be able to pry it off relatively easy. just be sure to remove the sliders off the AC controls before you do. after you pop that panel off, you just have to disconnect the wiring harnesses going to the clock, hazard lights, rear defroster, and AC button. the radio is bolted in there with a mounting bracket, so you'll have to unscrew that as well. you'll need to unscrew that bracket from the radio you have in there, and mount it to the one you wanna install....hopefully this helps you out. it sounds harder than it really is.

Check your fuel filter. Also check your foot. That could be alot of things air filter, fuel filter, tires low on air

Try this Basic Tips: First up, here are some of the more conventional tips that you might have read about elsewhere. Most of them follow common sense; if you make your engine work harder, it burns more gas:
* Do not use quick accelerations or brake heavily.
* Do not drive at higher speeds.
* Combine trips to reduce driving with a cold engine and on frequent short trips.
* Remove excess weight and/or cargo racks. Do not tow unless absolutely necessary.
* Minimize running mechanical and electrical accessories (e.g. air conditioning).
* Avoid driving on hilly or mountainous terrain if possible.
* Do not use 4-wheel drive if it is not needed.

In practice, this means driving very differently that you might now. You want to accelerate your emptied car as slowly as possible, and continue to drive as slowly as possible once you go past about 30 mph, especially on freeways. You want to be aware so that the second you may need to stop or can coast, you can take your foot off the gas pedal immediately. Don't use air conditioning, do use cruise control. Track your mpg with a mileage log to measure any improvements. (Most people do not ever achieve the given EPA fuel economy ratings for their vehicle.)

Advanced Tactics: Here we get into some more extreme behavior. Note that not all hypermilers engage in these activities, these are simply the ones that push the envelope. Some may be considered dangerous, or even illegal in certain areas:
* Use an real-time fuel economy meter. If you don't have a hybrid with a built-in meter, get yourself something like the ScanGuage II.
* Inflate tires to much higher pressures. Higher tire pressures -> Lower rolling resistance -> better fuel economy. They recommend not just inflating to the psi recommended by your car, but the maximum sidewall rating allowed by your tire manufacturer. Some members even take advantage of the "factor of safety" that engineers use and pump it up to 25% over the max rating. 50+ psi is not unheard of.
* Switch to a special motor oil. Using low kinematic viscosity oil helps improve mpg.
* Forced Autostop: Turn off engine whenever possible. If you're slowly stopping to a red light or just coasting, turn off your combustion engine completely ("force" it to "stop"). Keep the engine off while idle, and only start it up when you're ready to go again. This reduces losses due to running the engine at idle.
* Pulse and Glide. This consists of driving using alternating periods of accelerating ("pulse") and coasting ("glide"), and then repeating the process. It is most efficient if you turn off the engine and coast in neutral while coasting.
* Draft behind big rigs or large vehicles. Take advantage of the turbulent air behind a big rig on the freeway by driving as close as you feel comfortable behind it. The resulting lower air drag means you need less gas.

Hope helps.

i would check your air filter ,plugs ,tire pressure,dirty injectors,these all can effect mileage. as an engine gets more and more miles on it will effect mileage but nothing drastic. i have tried those injector cleaner you add the the gas tank with no real change .i suggest a good tune up ,and what they call a MOTOR VAC the car runs off a machine that runs cleaner thought the injectors every time i have done this with my own cars there was a noticeable change even if i was not having any problems, (mileage, acceleration, idle were much better .
