I've had my 08 Limited FWD for a little over 1 week and have been getting 14 mpg city driving only. One thing I would like to point out that most people don't know is that if you are buying gasoline that is an ethanol blend, you will get 3 mpg less than regularly blended gasoline. The gas pump you use should have a sticker on it declaring it an ethanol blend but they are not required by law to have the sticker so it could still be ethanol blended and you wouldn't know. I just filled my tank last night with regularly blended gas and will be watching this next week to see the gas mileage. In the city where I live, the only regularly blended gas stations are Chevron.

Since I only put $2000 down and have a 4 year loan, I'm stuck with it since all cars depreciate in value the second you drive them off the lot... so I'll just keep driving my little Silver Blue Santa Fe and hope gas prices go down. Keep me posted how yours is doing on mileage... good luck!

Replying to: pamcaulfie (Sep 06, 2008 10:30 am) All the gas stations in our area use the ethanol blended except for Chevron. The local refinery makes their gas to their specs without ethanol. I know this because my husband works there. The only way you will find out if your gas station has ethanol is to just look at the pumps to see if they've posted a sticker stating it. I drove my car today with the Chevron regular gas in it and the gas mileage reading showed I was getting 17+ mpg. With the ethanol blend it never got above 14. And the Chevron gas was only 0.03 more than the ethanol at the Super Walmart but that station is also in a ritzier part of town so that may be why they were charging more. |

My local dealer gave me a quote (in-person) of $26.1K for a Limited AWD with no additional options, except mats. This price included the $3.5K incentive Hyundai is using right now, and was before any taxes, fees, etc. Looking at other prices on this board, that does not even seem close to being in the ballpark. He claims the invoice was $29675, which does not match up with Edmunds or KBB, which I was seeing closer to $28.8K. Just want to get everybody's opinion on what price should be reasonable given the market right now and what they're seeing from dealers. This dealership had around 50 Santa Fe's on the lot, so there definitely should be some incentive to get rid of them. |

| for the exact same vehicle in Dec. 07. That's when the rebate was either $1000 or $1500. If the rebate is $3500 now, you should do better. | |
