#76 of 108 MILES LEFT ON GAS LIGHT??? by brettcomp Aug 19, 2007 (7:36 am)
I was just curious and couldnt find the answer anywhere but does anyone know how many miles are left until you completely run out of gas once the gas light turns on in a Hyundai Tucson 2007? Its a 2.0L thanks!!! Replies to this message: bwaller78 (Aug 19, 2007 11:06 am)

Replying to: brettcomp (Aug 19, 2007 7:36 am) Well I have never run the tank till the light comes on but came close, was a on recent trip to california and ran it to the last line before "E" and the trip computer showed I could have gone about 56 miles, so I am pretty sure that the light comes on with about 2 gallons left, so you can reach gas station.

Replying to: bullseye98 (Sep 17, 2006 1:10 am) Can anyone let me know what kind of mileage they are getting on their auto v4 and v6 Tucson? I don't see much consistancy. I am looking at the 2007.

Replying to: gunga64 (Sep 23, 2007 6:20 am) I have a 2007 v4, GLS FWD. I am consistently getting 23-24 mpg. This is 70% highway and 30% in town driving. Hope that helps.
#81 of 108 Simple modification to improve Tucson mpg by ulltron Dec 04, 2007 (8:36 pm)
I am enjoying my new 2007 Tucson with V6 engine/auto transmission very much but I wanted to see if I could improve mpg (although it isn't at all bad for an SUV). With 2800 miles I was getting about 20.3 mpg city when I figured out that it is extremely easy to remove the somewhat restrictive plastic air intake piping to the air filter box. I then replaced it with a 5-inch diameter $10 aluminum clothes drier vent and attached it to the round inlet with a large hose clamp. I removed the blank panel covering the hole in the driver side front bumper under the fog lights and routed the vent to this hole. Now I have a nice bumper air scoop with 5 inch vent pushing cool air without restriction into the stock air filter and the mpg has increased to about 21.3 mpg city. Next, I will replace the stock paper air filter element (when it is due) with a high efficiency model to decrease restriction even. I also need to do some highway mpg testing to see if it has helped push my 27mpg up.   I'm sure others will want to try this inexpensive modification to get your Tucson to breath easier and I would like to hear your results as well. This same modification should work just as well on the 4 cylinder engines as well. I look forward to hearing others comments. Replies to this message: rowdytex (Dec 05, 2007 3:41 pm)

Replying to: ulltron (Dec 04, 2007 8:36 pm) I am getting 22 mpg in the city and 30 to 32 mpg on the highway.   May try this later....   Thanks
#83 of 108 Crap Mileage WHY?? by rainybstn Jan 10, 2008 (9:24 am)
I have a new 2007 V6 Tucson. I am getting approx 15 mpg city. I have tracked every tank of gas from the day i purchased and average about 200 miles per full tank. I have 1800 miles so far. This is pretty bad, I think something must be wrong.

Replying to: rainybstn (Jan 10, 2008 9:24 am) Any car, any brand, will not perform it's best until the engine is fully broken in. 1800 miles is not enough. Just breathe deep and wait until around 2500 miles.

Replying to: rainybstn (Jan 10, 2008 9:24 am) During the break in period, I think it is good to get some highway miles on your engine. Also, if you have a heavy foot, or drive alot in heavy traffic, mileage will drop rapidly and cold weather is also a culpret. I'm still breaking in my Tucson as well. I changed the oil at 2000 and will again at 5000, then I'll switch to synthetic and follow the 7000 mile change interval. I'm told you can pick up a 1/2 mpg improvement in addition to reducing engine wear. Never run synthetic or blend until after the engine is broken in or the rings will not seat properly and you may never get good mileage.
