Toyota Echo Gas Mileage

Over its six-year run, the Toyota Echo built a reputation based on strong gas mileage ratings and a low sticker price. With highway gas mileage figures that ranged into the low 40 mile per gallon (MPG) range (when outfitted with the five-speed manual) and a MSRP that started at just $9,995, the draw was clear. Toyota marketed the 2000 Echo as bringing “Roominess, Performance and Youth Appeal to the Entry-Level Segment.” Ah, but the appreciation of the finer points of high-MPGs and low monthly payments knows no age barriers.

The Echo was available in both four-door (shown above) and two-door models. Under the hood, a spunky 1.5 liter DOHC four cylinder engine using Toyota’s VVT-i (”Variable Valve Timing with intelligence”) technology delivered sub nine second 0-60 times, as it produced 108 horsepower (HP) and 105 foot pounds of torque.

My 2004 Echo 2 door no power steering or brakes and the air turned off will get 46 MPG at 80 on the expressway. 51 MPG at 55mph
and 40 around town. Who needs a Hybrid?

I drove my Echo from Seattle to Anchorage, Alaska and calculated 52 MPG. Awesome car!

My 2001 Echo has gotten me from St. Louis, MO to Charlotte NC via the Smokies with air on and radio blaring with right above 40 mpg every time. I love this car! My only worry is that when I’m due for another car, it’ll barely measure up to my little red Echo.
