Ever wonder how long you have to own a Hybrid Toyota Corolla before you recoup the savings on gas vs a gas-only Corolla? We’ll answer that question, along with what miles per gallon I am currently getting in my 2023 Corolla Hybrid, and lastly, what I have spent on maintenance for the car over the 60,000 miles I have driven it. This cost of ownership data might help you know if the Corolla Hybrid is the right car for you to buy.

- How many miles-per-gallon should I expect to get in a 2023 Toyota Corolla?
- How long do I need to drive my Hybrid Corolla for it to pay for itself vs the normal gas engine Corolla?

- How much will a Corolla Hybrid cost to maintain over the first 100,000 miles?
Summary
The Corolla Hybrid can save you thousands of dollars if you have expensive gas and you drive the car for 80,000 miles or more. If you plan to keep it for only a couple years and don’t plan on having it for more than 40,000 or so miles it makes sense to just buy the normal Toyota Corolla instead of getting the hybrid version.
Other scenarios where it makes sense to buy the hybrid version of the Corolla is if you drive a lot of city miles. The car is very fuel-efficient in the city – we get up to 60 miles per gallon in the city when we are not racing from red light to red lights.
