I drive close to 100 miles each day as a commute to work and back, 50 miles each way. I get 34-38 MPG still. Car has over 134K on it now.

Thats about what we're doing and my Accent is a 2005. We can usually get to about 220 on one tank. When driving from New York to chicago, we averaged about 34.

I have 07 Accent 3 door with 3500 miles. I get 30 MPG in mixed city-highway driving. The car is hampered by the 4 speed auto which desperately needs a higher top gear. If MPG is the concern one must consider the manual transmission

my first tank of gas I got 42 MPG, then didn't know I had to use at least midgrade gas, so next tank I got 27 MPG, now I'm using Midgrade and got 32MPG, next tank I will use supreme and see what happens.

Why do you think you need to use mid-grade gas? The Accent is designed to run on 87 octane.

Cause I've tried the 87 and it runs better and gets better MPG on the 89

1 year 10,000 miles on my 2007 Accent SE Auto by accentuate

and to tell you the truth I am pissed. I have never put anything under a full tank of gas and 90% of the time I have seen the gas light come on. I have gone to the same gas station since day one (aside from 3 different gas stations to see if it was my gas station giving me bad gas) I have tried premium, midgrade, and regular. I have tried driving fast, driving slow, driving 8 miles to work mostly freeway and now I am driving 3 miles to work with a mile or so jaunt on the freeway.
 
I can tell you now there is no break in period. There is no getting better or worse. I went on a rallycross where you get a packet that tells you "turn here" "go this speed" and there was a lot of leaving it it in 2nd going up a hill trying to keep it at 25mph...that tank which also included 2 laps around Portland international raceway got me 28mpg. That was the best tank I have seen yet.
 
For the majority of the time I have owned the car (and I have been keeping my gas reciepts since the beginning of the year) I see anywhere from 240 miles to 260 miles on a tank. I can run through a tank in a week or two depending on the amount of driving, but its always taken 9-10 gallons of gas and has allways got me 240-260 miles.

On a 3 mile commute that includes accelerating onto a freeway (maybe the worst thing for mpg except for standing still), and only one mile on the freeway and the rest in city (maybe with some stops?), 24-26 mpg is not that bad IMO.
 
With 3 miles to/from work, that's 30 miles a week assuming 5 days per week. What kind of driving do you do for the other 100-200 miles per week? Have you tried taking it on a long (over 100 miles) highway trip at a reasonable speed (60-70 mph) to see what mpg you get? If you don't get at least mid-30s under those conditions, I'd say something is wrong with the car.
