07'. On our first tank,we got 17.6. I am very disappointed. I expected 20 avg for 80%city-20%hwy. We just traded in a Mountaineer SUV because we 'thought' vans would surely give us better gas mileage,especially in this age of outrageously absurd gas prices and record Oil Co revenues. It got 17 mpg. I SURE the heck did NOT expect the same with a van with a V6 and FWD! The SUV had AWD and a V8!! MPG on vehicles for familys are terrible and something needs to be done about it....

Our Entourage now has 2200 miles. Lates tank received 23.9 mpg. This was about 95% highway, all of which was on US highways, and included travel through several small towns with traffic lights. No Interstate highways were used during this trip. Air conditioner was also used full time.

Averaged over three tanks of gas = 15.23 mpg (80% city, 20% highway). This value also correlates well to the vehicle's display that tracks cummulative mpg. Very dissappointing! This is ~3 mpg lower than the stated value for 100% city which I realized are calculated using goverment imposed bad science and not actual figures. I'm hoping that Hyundai decides to reevaluate the fuel map that this vehicle is programmed with and provide updates to owners that complain hard enough. Mazda has had to do this with their RX-8. If an auto maker is rushing a vehicle to market, their best bet would be to run the engine rich to ensure smooth running engines under all conditions and climates. This comes with a price however since the excess fuel is not get converted into energy and is lost through the tail pipe. With additional time and understanding of the vehicle, a leaner fuel map can be provided that works for the majority of owners. On the other hand, the vehicle may just be a hog.

Has anyone heard of getting bad gas mileage while in the break in period? We are only getting around 13.5 mpg in the city and the thing has only seen about 5 miles of highway. We called two different dealerships and they told us that the Entourage's get bad gas mileage during the break in period. I'm a vehicle mechanic for the AF and I have never heard of a vehicle getting this bad of gas mileage during the break in.

Replying to: fligger (Oct 20, 2006 3:01 pm) As for your question... Yes all of the Hyundais I have had started out with awfull gas milage. By the first oil change my averages have always gotten more inline with expectations. Our Entourage is averaging 18-20 mpg a tank with a mixed routine of town & highway. We rarely go anywhere with serious stop and creep city trafic. Also...don't forget to reset the mpg display with each fill up. It tends to be more acurate this way. |
