Replying to: posystm (May 21, 2008 10:51 am) I'm on my 3hd tank since changing to synthethic and have consistently experienced a 1 - 1.5 mpg increase (or about 4-5%). Again, most of my driving is on rural and suburban roads at 50 to 60 mph. Only about 10% in light city traffic. We're going a a major road trip this Summer and I intend to keep good records. Will give a full report on Car top luggage, Highway and mountain driving in the Fall.

I can't imagine why you would be turning the rotors so soon....I have aver 14000 on my 2007 and the rotors are in perfect condition, however I don't really drive too much in city traffic....perhaps you don't use the gears to slow down in your daily commute. This machine has an exceptionally smooth transmission therefore I use the manual mode on a regular basis to hold it back on long steep hills, thus the brakes are spared constant use. As far as using a different air filter I am really not certain you can expect any spectacular results, however I would certainly be interested in your experience.. Please keep us posted regarding if there are any real performance gains once you install the new air filter. .... R M H |

I just got back from a 3,400 mi. road trip out west. Wisconsin to Utah. Best mileage we got was 27 mpg with a tail wind on the way out. Worst was 24.9 coming back, into a head wind. This was accomplished going the speed limit, generally around 65 mph and using only non-ethanol gas. Excellent ride. Very comfortable. No problems with the trip, at all. The worst tankful was around 23 mpg but I suspect that fuel was mislabeled and I wound up putting the ethanol garbage in unknowingly. It is interesting that in the biggest corn growing states, Iowa and Nebraska, you get a choice of whether to buy the inferior fuel but here in good old Badgerland we are forced to use only ethanol. No options. (Somebody is obviously getting some $$$ under the table around here.) But that's another subject for another discussion board. 24K mi. on the vehicle now and it's still a great car. No complaints.

Replying to: mjb56 (May 25, 2008 5:43 pm) My tires are inflated to 35 psi all around and of course this helps somewhat with fuel efficiency, tire life and overall handling. This machine is so smooth and quiet it's kind of boring to drive. The engine and transmission are smoother than in my last Cadillac STS. Great piece of equipment...Keep it up Hyundai... R M H
