Just found out how to improve gas mileage on 06 Sonata V6. Got 33.6 MPG
from Lordsburg NMex to Las Cruces NMex, about 200 mile! All you have to
do is have a 45 MPH r

What is a 45 MPH r???

 

I get 32 from PHX to Tucson with a K&N filter.

The other way back over the mountains of AZ to Kingman I get 27...

Must be downhill....

I've noticed that somewhere between 45 and 50 MPH is most efficient. I get
somewhere between 35 and 38 mpg at that speed. Any faster or slower, and it
goes down.

Temperature really makes a big difference, too. In the winter (when it's
between -10 and +10 degrees F) I get around 18mpg. In the summer, it's
closer to 22mpg

 

and then as I was typing my computer crashed....45 MPH tail wind from the
west!!!
One more thing..Haven't seen anything on it here, maybe I just haven't
seen it...bought a FRAM CH9999 filter for sonata v-6 at walmart for 5.53
made in KOREA!!!

 

also forgot.....cruise control set on 80!!!

Summer gas blend makes a difference also. Mine has just gone up about 2 mpg
the past few tanks.

Yes, mine made a huge jump on the last tank. I haven't computed it yet,
but I got 490 miles and the light wasn't even on yet!

I know that Fram filters have a bad rep... Probably because they can hide
trash in a can encased filter. That's hard to do with an element type filter
like is used in the 3.3 Sonata. I looked at the Purolator / NAPA India made
version of the filter, and I was not impressed. I bought a CH9999 from
Wally-World, and took some pictures. The filter really doesn't look bad. In
fact, the actual element looks more consistent than the Hyundai filter. The
end seals (element to plastic) look identical, and the oil seals - both on
the filter, and in the bag for the bypass valve, and the filter cap look the
same. I'll try it, and see how it holds up.

Here's the pix. They are fairly high resolution, so they might take a while:

Side by side... the fram looks better.

Looks don't filter oil. I haven't seen a lot of test data recently, but
the tests I've seen in the past didn't place Fram in a very good light
performance-wise.
