My first tank of gas yielded 31.2 MPG with mixed driving. I filled the tank up until the auto shut-off. My average speed was 29. The MPG computer was 2.5 MPG's off of "real world".

Disregard your first tank of gas. The "full tank" you got when picking up your car probably was a little under full.
See how your computer does after you fill and drive it. Your manual calculations and the computer should be within .1 mpg due to rounding in the computer.

Ok friends here is the 911 on MPG. I own a 2008, Elantra, SE, A/T, PZEV. My car now has 8,800 miles on it, purchased new in March. At first, Initially I was not too impressed with the MPG. Since then it has improved nicely. Best MPG to date: 37. There is a caviat...I drove without using the A/C and I used the cruise control when I could, and I did not exceed 70 MPH. The best while using the A/C was 32 MPG and exceeding 70 MPH, 75/80. If you use the Tach as a guide, keep your RPM's between 2500/2750 and you will see the higher MPG numbers. My day to day mixed driving runs between 28 & 30 MPG. Over the years, I've owned 6 Honda's...all, without exception were fine automobiles...the Elantra has caught up with Honda in many ways...a bit more refinement and they're there. Still love Honda and the Hyundai warranty was the big selling feature to me. cajim 08.12.08

Again put 10.5 gallons in, and calculated 30.4 MPG after travelling 320 miles. This is the "second tank". Trip comuter calcualted 28.5.
