Hey, I am not threatening anything. I love my van; I just wish they would explain the wait for better gas mileage. I am not a mechanic (hard to believe, huh, lol.) Today, I used the reset button and the mpg flitted between 15 and 22. It was like watching a stop watch counting seconds. Anyway, I'll be patient. Even now, it sure beats the mileage we get on our '05 GMC Safari!

First tank: 18.89. Second Tank: 19.46. Third tank: 20.56.
 
The gas gauge seems to be discouraging a range of more than 340 miles, or is it just set up to scare us into buying gas before it is less than 20% full?
 
85% highways / country (fast) roads / 15% cities & towns. Almost totally with A/C on.

Okay, I think there's a fuel demon who is transfering my milage to others' tanks! I swear, my mpg has dropped from 14 to 12...although, mostly in town with A/C. Is it my state, perhaps? Is anyone else here from California?

Yomarymo:
 
I am from Texas. I get to drive out in the country a lot, and I know that helps. I also need to not step on it very much. Today I had a tank full just barely over 20.0 MPG. (I drive about 1000 miles a week, doing service work). My "old" Grand Caravan got 22 - 23 MPG, with a 3.3 liter V6. I hope to be able to match that with the Hyundai.

Are we getting our figures the old-fashioned way? Filling the tank; reset trip odo. to 0; drive down to "E"; write down mileage from trip odo; filling tank and write down the gallons it took to fill tank; dividing the mileage by the gallons it took to fill up. Or are we just going by the trip computer? Which constantly needs to be reset. I'm getting in the high teens to low 20's city and mid 20's hwy in my Limited. The mileage did get better with more miles on the car.

Hey Tom
I had a 2000 Voyager with the same engine. Big difference in performance with the Hyundai Wouldn't you agree?

Yes, Dave, That is true. The Hyundai has a good bit of oomph.

Bought it yesterday.
Interstate at 70-75mph, cruse control, brand new engine and still has to go through the "break in" period - 26.9mpg
 
Commute to work this morning, got stoped at every light! 8 miles on city streets between 35-50mph. The compuuter was reset while travelling at 55 on a free way. Mpg reading started at 33mpg and stayed high untill I hit a battery of lights, final reading at work was 22.3mpg.
 
People from my work came out to look at it, it was started and left running several times without moving and this brought the average mpg down to 12.9mpg.
 
The computer seems to calculate every 30-60seconds based on the fuel used and the distance travelled during this period and adding it into the average since the computer was last reset. If your running the car for long periods without moving your mpg is going to be bad. Try my way of calculating and see what you get, I'm more than happy.
