Small engine, high drag boxy design, you figure it out.
EPA estimates are just that, estimates. Very few cars can achieve EPA numbers in the real world.
My xB automatic got 30mpg on its last tank. Mixed urban/suburban driving with the AC on. This seems to be pretty typical for drivers who take it easy.

It must take a lot of energy to push all that ugly through the air too...?
Maybe. Surely everyone's noticed that the Prius is designed a little differently. No?
Not if you run along behind and blow. I mean you, specifically.

A 4-speed automatic '94 Corolla DX is one of them. All you need to do is either turn on the AC and get your speed over 80mph or tow a trailer to get the highway mileage to drop to the estimated 32mpg. The 26mpg city estimate simply requires trips of less than 10 miles in weather below 10dF with MTBE mixed into the gasoline.
It depends. Are you a leadfoot or balloonfoot?
