Replying to: caaz (Sep 11, 2009 9:24 pm) I own a 2009 Sonata Limited V6 and have 9998 miles on it. Made a trip to Lake Jackson TX about 2 months ago from Nevada MO. I drove 1645 miles round trip and used 49.7gallons of fuel-an average of 33.09 MPG. I am very happy with my Sonata. Replies to this message: james1982 (Sep 12, 2009 5:26 pm)

Replying to: ray78 (Sep 12, 2009 3:39 pm) I calculate the MPG on my 09 GLS MT with every fill-up. I routinely average in the low 30's. Given, most of my miles are on the highway, but, nevertheless, I'm quite happy!

Replying to: caaz (Sep 11, 2009 9:24 pm) I get crummy mileage, according to my "trip computer"... The computer on my 07 GLS (4cyl automatic) says I'm getting roughly 21 mpg on average. That's actually about the best I do - winters it goes down below 20 easily. Mileage is by far the #1 complaint I have about this car (I have very few other complaints - it's a great car).

Replying to: jandk98 (Sep 14, 2009 6:25 am) What mileage do you really get if you calculate it?
#565 of 581 Just averaged over 35 MPG over 1400 miles by sduff68 Sep 30, 2009 (7:03 pm)
Just drove from Virginia to Oklahoma; 1400 miles. Using the trip computer at one point the car we were averaging nearly 40MPG in my 2009 Hyundai Sonata Limited 4 Cylinder. We eventually averaged 35 MPG for the entire trip.   My car has a custom aftermarket exhaust, so that might have helped some. I believe that the increase in altitude and mountainous terrain caused the MPG to decrease. Replies to this message: cstewart27 (Oct 01, 2009 4:13 pm)
#566 of 581 Averaging 29.8 mpg with ~2000 miles by cstewart27 Oct 01, 2009 (4:13 pm)
Replying to: sduff68 (Sep 30, 2009 7:03 pm) Driving 2009 Sonata GLS with PEP. Avg is 29.8 mpg with nearly 2000 on it since Aug. Typically driving 80% highway / 20% city.
#567 of 581 Have seen 35+ on tripcomputor by 8babies1dog Oct 03, 2009 (5:06 am)
New 2009 Sonata se v6, only 3000 miles, have not calculated mpg by actual gas used v/ miles driven yet. Still learning how to use Shiftronics to maximize RPM to MPH ratio. Hi rpm = less mpg as everyone knows. Using fully automatic side only on 120 mile trip mostly hiway, best average 32.2 / 32.4 AC off, AC on 31.8 / 32. Turned AC back on " to HOT". This was with cruise set 2000 rpm 72/73 mph. Did not notice any fluctuation in rpm or speed w/ AC on or OFF. On 20 mile stretch using manual side to shift max. 2000 rpm then up shift to 50 mph and then putting into auto mode. Cruise set 50 mph rpm stayed 1250 in overdrive. That brought average to 36.3 ( and still climbing). Will be taking a 2000 mile trip next week. Will post update on mpg average both ways trip computer and hand figures. So far luv this car. Hard to keep from stomping accelerator in this thing, very strong off line in 1st and 2nd gear using manual side. Not going to try redline yet!
