First Gas Mileage Check on my Sonata
Hi All, I checked the gas mileage for the first time since I got my 6
cylinder Sonata. I got 21.4 MPG, all city driving. Not bad! I'll be
taking a 400 mile freeway trip (one way) at the end of the month and
I'll post the freeway mileage then.

Mileage should get better after 6000 miles ;-)

Re: First Gas Mileage Check on my Sonata
My 2004 Sonata V6 gets between 21-23 around town and 27-29 MPG on long trips
with minimal stops.
In contrast, my 2001 Corvette, V8 (375hp), 6 speed, gets over 30 MPG on long
trips with minimal stops.
Shows what two good overdrive gears can do for gas mileage. Something like
1500 rpm at 70 MPH.

Re: First Gas Mileage Check on my Sonata
Must be nice, the best I can get on my 6cyl GLS Sonata is about 18 mpg
city.

Hi all, Well, I just got back yesterday from my 430 mile trip, each
way. On the way there (from Michigan to Illinois/Iowa border) I got
31.5 MPG and on the way back I got 30.8 MPG. The slight decrease on
the way back is because I had me neice and her 2 children, along with
their luggage with me. I figure the added weight was the reason. The
car handled beautifully and I am very happy with the gas mileage,
considering how sweet this car rides.

31.5 isn't too bad for a new car but I can get better than that with my
wifes Oldsmobile. It is a '91 with the 3.3 in it.
Turns in 30 around town and close to 38 on the highway. Not bad for a 4
door. This is running at 65-70 MPH as well.

Re: First Gas Mileage Check on my Sonata
Well, I kept it at 5 over the limit. Most of the way it was 75 MPH but
I would estimate that at least half of the way was either 70 MPH or 60
MPH.
