Don't feed the troll, guys.
Seems pretty "off-topic" to me.

EPS on 2009 Corolla XLE

I've owned mine for a little over a year now and have 7100 miles on it. The steering was different than my previous car ('97 Outback) but I got used to in in a few days. The problem is that the steering is so positive that you have to keep your eyes on the road, it's not a car made for gawking or sightseeing while you're driving. Last night I drove home from a shopping trip. It was 20 miles, I steered with my left hand and ate an In and Out Burger, french fries, and drank a pink lemonade with my right hand, but kept my eyes on the road. Before I left the burger place I had everything set up on the front seat in the box they gave me (even ketchup) so I could ge tot it all without looking. Made it home alive. LOL Love my car and plan to drive it until she don't run no more. Driving with one hand isn't a problem.

Again, I would have to say that I don't feel having to keep your eyes on the road should be a problem. But I do catch the just of your comment and understand what you are trying to say. I'm glad you adjusted and are just another Corolla driver that is very happy with the new EPS and love their car.

I have a 2009 Corolla. The dash mpg reading is about 5 miles higher than my pencil and paper computation. Anyone else compare these? Also, I got only 31 mpg on my recent interstate trip. I was quite disappointed in the mpg. Others having any problems with meeting expected mpg?

How fast were you driving to get that mileage? I posted this under another topic previously. I took a trip from No.Cal to Yellowstone NP and stayed in Montana. I drove a steady 65mpg, using cruise control the whole way. I stayed 8 days and drove different parts of the park every day. My mileage for the round trip was 46.2 mpg. I'm going to Las Vegas next month for a week and am anxious to see what my mileage will be for that trip. I get great mileage when I go to town and a tank of gas lasts me a long time. If you were driving at a high rate of speed on your trip you won't get good mileage. And if you think something is wrong you should take it into the dealer and use your warranty to get it right.

46.2 mpg is great! I got 42 going 50-55 with the cruise control driving to FL from NY. If I go 65 I get maybe 30, no more. Might have to bring my car to Toyota service to see why I'm not getting that good mpg.

Okay, so let me get this straight. Your going to go back to the dealer and tell him your not happy with getting 42 mpg on the highway with 2009 Corolla because sometime you only get 30 mpg. Don't you think he's gonna laugh?

Well 42 is very good. As good as a Prius. Odd that you only got 30 going 65. Did you run into frequent where you had to slow down and get it into cruise again. On that trip I took there were horrible winds coming and going and the weather was bad in Montana also.But I also had that highway almost to myself. That was last June. So with all that I was very surprised to get that mileage. But I've seen notes from other people that get that kind of mileage also.
