#106 of 108 2007 Tucson V6 Poor Gas Mileage by sjfrank Jul 01, 2009 (11:13 am)
Hello:   I got a 2007 Tucson V6 in Nov. 2007 and have about 16K miles on it now. The MPG has never been better than 15 mpg. My wife usually drives it local so I understand the "city" range, though 15 is terrible. Is this common? Any ideas to boost it?   Thanks.   Steve Replies to this message: steve_ (Jul 01, 2009 1:12 pm) ulltron (Jul 01, 2009 5:41 pm)

Replying to: sjfrank (Jul 01, 2009 11:13 am) I also have the 2007 Tucson with V6 and about 15,000 miles. I'm getting 20.5 mpg driving normally with mostly city driving and about 22 mpg if I manual shift. When manually shifting, I start off in 2nd gear, shift to 3rd as soon as it will just over 20 mph, and 4th as soon as it will at around 40 mph. I still drive about 5 over the speed limit but try to anticipate stops and down shift to help break the vehicle. Since I live near the coast, it is very flat here and my city commute is not bad. Mileage will drop quickly with heavy stop and go driving and/or hard acceration I'm getting around 25 mpg highway driving around 70 mph. Highway mileage is a little better driving at 60 and gets worse driving faster then 70. I'm very satisfied with my Tucson performance and I think the mpg is what you can expect for a small truck with V6 gasoline engine.
