No, I don't own an Azera, but maybe it's time to add this discussion so owners can boast/lament their fuel consumption issues.

I have the Azera Limited. Fuel consumption is consistantly around 20mpg (Mixed driving) The best I have ever got was 25 on a 500 mile trip to San Diego driving at night non stop averaging 80mph. The fuel computer is a little over enthusiastic informing me I have gotten 26.5 when indeed I have managed 22. The initial break in for the first 1200 miles was a miserly 18.2 and that was gentle driving and acceleration with no AC. I use the car for long trips only now as thats where it excels in performance and comfort and makes very light work of the miles and one arrives refreshed and ready to go. |

| I have 4,500 miles on mine, average about 21 mpg mixed. Driving from Aspen, CO to Denver I got 30.5 mpg computed by me, Azera computer reported 30.1 mpg. I was averaging about 75 mph, but Aspen is at about 8,000 feet and Denver is about 5,000, so gravity likely helped some. I consitantly get about 29 mpg on level highway driving at 75 mph. | |

Just completed a 1200 mile trip (all highway) in my Azera My fuel consumtion according to computer was 25.2 MPG. A friend of mine made same trip in his new Avalon and had a fuel usage of 30.1 MPG, although he uses premium fuel and I use regular.

A friend of mine made same trip in his new Avalon and had a fuel usage of 30.1 MPG, although he uses premium fuel and I use regular. ---------- Regular vs. premium fuel is worth about 2 mpg in cost. So, although the Avalon uses premium, it is still a more cost effective engine than the Azera I think one of the reasons the Azera is lower is that it weighs slightly more. My gas mileage with the Azera is 17.2 city only 19.5 70% city 30% highway. Since I haven't taken a highway trip longer than about 40 miles yet, I can't say what my pure highway mileage is. But with gas prices what they are, it's too bad the Azera is a little better in this area.

I do not own an Azera, but I do own a 2006 Sonata I-4. I have come to believe the Consumer Reports numbers to be accurate except for there town milage. They must use a test cycle that is more like a NY City Taxi driver's usage. However they say that they got 12 MPG city and 29 MPG highway on there Azera. One more MPG on the highway than the EPA got. There 150 mile test trip netted 23 MPG, and there over all milage figure was 19 MPG. I feel there Highway figure of 29 MPG is correct, for most drivers. I feel that a city MPG of apx 18 or 19 should be accurate for careful drivers, based on the figures I am seeing here and else where. Actually I feel these numbers are good based on my MPG of 20 to 21 city and 30 to 33 MPG highway, given the fact that the Azera is quite a bit heaver and a much more powerful car than mine. My 2 cents. |
