#64 of 71 Re: Hyundai Entourage: MPG - Real World Numbers [hrngffcr] by hjc1 Apr 27, 2009 (5:01 am)
Replying to: hrngffcr (May 02, 2007 6:37 pm) I just completed a 3000+ mile trip from FL. to WI. and back...... Most of the trip was on the Interstate traveling mostly at 70+ mph except for a 2 hour bumper to bumper stop and go road repair in Atlanta area :=(    Using the old method of gas used and mileage traveled I ended up with a total trip of 24.85 miles per gallon. Using the trip computer during the stop and go portion of the trip it showed no lower then 19.6 mpg. Over all for a 4000+lb van I'm happy with the results. The ride was great. This is one heck of highway cruiser

#66 of 71 Mileage Update by drno May 11, 2009 (7:20 pm)
With 24,000 miles on a 2007 model, recent trips from Pittsburgh to State College, PA and Coschocton, OH have averaged a little over 27 mpg. Much of the travel was on secondary roads at speeds of about 60 mph or less. This lower speed makes a big difference in mileage. When driving at 70 or so on the interstates with AC, the mileage is between 23 and 25, depending on hills and conditions. I also note that the speedometer reads about 3.5 mph low from about 45mph to 70+mph. This is based on a Garmin GPS for a running experiment and every so often by stopwatch using mile markers.

Replying to: drno (May 11, 2009 7:20 pm) Yes, it's the RPM that makes a huge difference. My last long (2+ hrs) trip, I watched the MPG meter carefully and noted MPG improved if I shifted manually to keep the engine between 1500 and 2000 rpm. I could keep it reading 24 MPG even while change speed. IIRC, most gas car engines are designed for peak efficiency around 1700 RPM.   Note the tranny seems to go back to shifting automatically below 1500.

Replying to: tonykeas (Jan 18, 2007 8:50 am) Don't expect too much from the people at Hyundai. They are for the company and "they have to call the dealer first". That is want I was told when i called in a complaint to them.
#69 of 71 Warrantie by wizardsrepair May 29, 2009 (4:48 am)
I bought my 2008 Entourage in March of 09. It was new and I expected so much with the warranty that was offered. In the second month I noticed a discoloring in the headlight lens and asked them a bought it and after being referred to the factory rep I was told that it didn't interfere with the operation and it wouldn't be replaced because of the price. I then took it to the dealer last week because the driver's seat is popping and was tod that the factory rep would have to look at it to see if it was far enough out of specs to warrant replacement because of the price. They never said anything about the price before or in any of the warranty material that I have found. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing.
#70 of 71 My mileage by stush Jul 29, 2009 (5:43 pm)
Just did a quick 4hr trip and got close to 25 mpg. I'm at almost 47,000 miles. Still average about 17 - 18 around town.

Replying to: entourage2007 (Jun 24, 2008 11:27 am) We just got back from a 3800 mile trip in our '07 Entourage to Tennessee and Georgia. 75% was freeway. The rest was 2 lane roads and in town. Driving the speed limits, we averaged 24.5 going, and 23.6 coming home. No complaints here. After all, it is a van.
