#34 of 95 Gas Mileage by trgbassguy Apr 23, 2006 (10:58 pm)
I'm looking around at some new cars and I'm very interested in the Rio5. Now the site for the automatic says it's 29/38. So an average of 33.5 What are people actually getting is my question.

Replying to: trgbassguy (Apr 23, 2006 10:58 pm) I just turned 3k on my Rio5-AT. I'm getting about 26mpg. That's mostly city driving...ALOT of stop and go. Still haven't had a chance to put it on the road for a full tank so can't give you highway results.

Replying to: b3nut (Apr 29, 2006 4:05 pm) ..this car does cruise well on the open road....I've still not taken it on a real long trip yet but that'll happen. i can already tell that the mileage will be well over 30mpg when I do cause I'm getting almost 26 or 27 in the city. I think Kia has a winner here.
#42 of 95 So far I'm getting by b3nut Apr 24, 2006 (4:53 am)
around 29 in mixed semi-highway/town commuting, and 33 on the highway (4300 miles on the car, auto trans). Not as high as the EPA ratings, but EPA highway mileage is rated at 45mph...who in the heck drives that slowly? I cruise around 65-70 most of the time, sometimes up to 80. You'll get closer to the EPA ratings of most cars if you stick to 55, but you can only get away with that in light traffic. I'd rather slow down and save gas, but I'd also rather not become someone else's hood ornament. The actual MPG I'm seeing from the Rio5 is about par for that class of car. It might improve some more as it runs in further, Hyundai engines usually don't start getting their best mileage until 5000-8000 miles (the Rio has the Hyundai Accent powertrain). So far, all things considered, I'm really happy with my Rio5...it's a great, handy little car. Todd in Beerbratistan
