Sorry, I put 1,300 miles when I meant 1,400.

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 11, 2006 11:52 am) I think there is something wrong with '06 Tucson V6. It has been averaging only 15mpg. I do a combination of city and highway, but mostly city driving.   I am really disappointed - I had hoped it would be a little better than this. I bought it in August and have 4500 miles on it. My brother told me in September that the mileage would get better as I drove it but it's actually getting worse.   Anybody else experiencing this.

Hello fellow Tucson owners. I picked up my 2007 GLS, FWD AT January 16, 2007. I've been trying to track mpg but it I have to take into account that I have been using the autostart and running the engine for 20 minutes at a time due. The best I have gotten so far is 24 mpg. That is mostly highway driving on flat interstate with heater on constantly. I am hoping for improvement when the weather warms and I am not idling the engine for long periods.   My bigger concern was the 18 inches of snow that we had last weekend. I was stuck 3 times. It didn't take much to get me out but the traction was terribly disappointing. I had better traction in my old Grand Prix fwd. I had originally thought of buying a 4wd but thought the mpg would be better and less vehicle maintenance on fWD than 4WD. I'd like to hear opinions of others.

Hi everyone,   Just found this forum and am learning a lot, especially about air filters and synthetic oil. Unfortunately, my 2005 4 cylinder Tucson is at the dealer for its 30,000 mile service which includes oil change, air filter and coolant change. I doubt they will use synthetic oil or a K&N air filter. Anyway, I have just finished an experiment driving 55 mph using cruise control when possible and intermittent A/C in a combination of city/suburban/highway for the last tank of gas and averaged 26 mpg. If I switch to synthetic oil and the K&N air filter, how much better gas mileage do you think I will achieve? Thanks. Replies to this message: steve_ (May 09, 2007 8:24 am)

Replying to: wcorgicar (May 09, 2007 7:17 am) A clean air filter can increase your mpg by 10% or more if your current one is dirty. Doesn't make any difference whether it's OEM or an aftermarket imo. Synthetic may gain you a few extra miles a tank but I don't think it's worth it for that.   Check out the Synthetic motor oil discussion and What Really Saves Gas? And How Much?
#54 of 108 MPG on my 2007 Tucson SE V6 4WD by irishred May 09, 2007 (2:24 pm)
Hey! I just bought my Tucson in late February with 7 miles on it at time of purchase. I now have 3800 miles on it doing mostly town to town driving and averaging 20.9 and climbing. Not bad for an SUV considering the Jeep Grand Cherokee I6 I had was only averaging 17. I'm expecting to top at around 21.5 or so and can't wait to see what I average on the way to the shore this summer!!!! Needless to say, I love my Tucson so far!!!
#55 of 108 12000 mile mark by bwaller78 May 09, 2007 (7:02 pm)

#56 of 108 Automatic vs 5-speed by itxaaro May 23, 2007 (12:38 pm)
I can't tell from these posts if anyone is driving an automatic or a 5-speed when they comment on mileage. Do manuals give better MPG than autos? Why? Replies to this message: smartsally (May 30, 2007 7:13 am)

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 11, 2006 11:52 am) I recently bought a 2006 4WD 6 cyl Tuscon with 20k miles on it. Auto transmission.   I use it to commute +/- 30 miles each way, and one highway trip each week.   I am getting a steady 23 mpg using regular gasoline.   You folks make me wonder what I am doing right !   -Beth
#58 of 108 2006 v6 gls auto by bwaller78 May 29, 2007 (6:52 pm)
I just returned from memorial day trip, 830 miles, and was really surprised it only costed me 95 dollars in gas because my tucson got 26 mpg on avg, sometime even getting over 27 mpg. I got to admit I was driving little slower than normal, normally drive 80 mph but slowed it down to 70 mph, even climbing hills was only down to 24.1 mpg, the last time I made the trip only got 21-23 mpg, I now have 13400 miles, mpg seem to get alot better once hit 10000 miles, so all you new tucson owners just hang in there, I will update on any improved mileage.
