Anyone know how the "RANGE" indicator works on the Odometer? Does it reset when you fill up the gas tank? Thanks, Jerry |

Does the MPG indicator take into effect when someone stops and keeps the engine running? How does it compute the MPG? Is it dynamic as you are driving? Thanks, Jerry

The trip computer may not register additional fuel if less than 1.36 gallons (6 liters) of fuel are added to the vehicle. I would imagine the Azera is similar in operation.

I live in the Washington DC area and have owned my car since July of this year. I average around 16 mpg in the day-to-day stop and go traffic around the suburbs. However, when I get on the highway or open road it goes way up! Two weeks after I bought it, I took a road trip to Tilghman Island, MD. Reset the MPG calculator there and started driving back to Alexandria, VA. On the two lane, open road from Tilghman to Easton, MD, I averaged 30 mpg. Filled up with cheap gas in Easton, MD and drove home. Made it back to DC and then home with an average of about 28 mpg, which is what Hyundai claims the car does. Have had the same/better performance now that the car is broken in. During weeks when I'm doing 50+ percent highway driving, I'm getting about 22 mpg overall. Of course, this varies on whether I'm having a lead-footed day or not; a sprint from Falls Church to Herndon in less than 15 minutes on the Dulles Toll Road does not contribute to good mileage (but was a hellava lot of fun)! Hope this helps. Overall, my Azera gets about the same mileage as the 2001 XG300 I traded in for it, despite the larger engine and heavier car.

This weekend, I made it a point to leave the shifter alone. Normally, I drive with the shifter in manual mode about 95% of the time and I wanted to see how much of a difference there might be in the fuel economy. Normally on the weekends, I tend to do a lot of urban driving (combination of city and highway). Anyone that knows the DC Metro area would understand. Anyway, usually I would see #'s at about 16-17 mpg. This past weekend, however...I posted an average of about 21 mpg. This was not exactly using conservative practices either. I wasn't heavy footed, but I wasn't ginger with the gas pedal either. In short, if you want to see decent numbers in the FE dept., leave the shifter in auto mode. Manual mode definitely allows one to be a little frisky when driving, but the cost'll be 2-3 mpg in the tank. No, this was not a scientific finding, just some real world driving to find out what my experience would be and felt it important enough to post it. You can try and see if you come up with something similar or even if you come up with something different. |
