Replying to: simagic (Oct 11, 2007 6:20 am) If your driving style is on the hard side, you'll get lousy mileage. I typically get 19 in town and 24 - 26 on the highway. But that's with a very light foot and usually close to posted limits. It's all in how you drive.

Replying to: simagic (Oct 11, 2007 6:20 am) 2nd Gas tank. Happy to note that I am getting 17-19 MPG in city driving. Not sure how it gone up from 9 MPG. As usual same driving habits(My Honda Civic 30 MPG city). VC Highway still getting 21. Hope to get better. Replies to this message: mjb56 (Nov 03, 2007 11:08 am)

Replying to: dvinay12 (Oct 28, 2007 4:46 pm) I did a spot check yesterday to compare the trip computer and a manual calculation. Trip said 22.8 mpg. Manual calc showed 24.43. Hard to believe the trip comp. was that far off. This was 90% highway travel at or near the posted limits.

I am averaging a little under 20 mph in drive to/from work, 55% highway/45% slow with some stop/go; 50 A/C use. The highway speed is between 60 and 75 MPH. I monitor the MPG readout on the dash to remind me not to have a heavy foot.   The low teens MPG could not be accurate unless driver has a very heavy foot with a lot of stop/go. Check it the old fashion way by dividing total miles per tank by total gallons used.

Just returned from a 290 mile trip (one-way) with 1,800 miles on my '08 VC SE FWD. No AC and about 2/3 State highway (55-65 mph) and 1/3 City. Trip computer read 24.1 mpg / calculated 23.9 mpg. Not bad! Replies to this message: perdido2key (Nov 20, 2007 7:39 pm)

#67 of 164 VC MPG by dvinay12 Nov 23, 2007 (8:10 pm)
I was reading VC reviewes on Yahoo auto sometime back and one of the users changed the Gas pipe with the help of his dealer. That changed his VC MPG to somewhere near 27 MPG. Any thoughts. I will post that review here once I get it. Replies to this message: mjb56 (Nov 24, 2007 8:24 am) dvinay12 (Nov 28, 2007 1:13 pm) jason330i (Nov 30, 2007 11:04 am)

Replying to: dvinay12 (Nov 23, 2007 8:10 pm) What exactly do you mean by "gas pipe"? Replies to this message: dvinay12 (Nov 28, 2007 1:13 pm) jason330i (Nov 30, 2007 11:04 am)

Replying to: mjb56 (Nov 24, 2007 8:24 am) Here is review below for 2007 model on edmunds itself ================================ Date Posted: 10/02/2007 By: VeraCruzin' Vehicle 2007 Hyundai Veracruz SE 4dr SUV (3.8L 6cyl 6A) Review Bought the VeraCruz in March for summer vacation. Drove from Houston to Orlando and back with no problems or complaints. Initially had issue with fuel pump and had poor mileage (combined app. 15 mpg). Pump was changed out and am getting about 23mpg at 85mph, 25mpg at 75mph, and a whopping 30+ when I toodle at around 50!! The interior is great! The ride is quiet and smooth! I'm stopped quite often and asked how I like it and I share! Except for the fuel pump, which was changed quickly, I have had no problem with this vehicle. =========================== Not sure what exactly he did.

#70 of 164 "Real World Gas Mileage" by jmaulsby Nov 29, 2007 (11:53 am)
Unless calculating MPG by hand (total miles divided by total gallons), I have discovered that the trip computer is not close enough to quote "real world MPG." I have calculated at least 12 tanks of fuel and the computer is off by as little as 0.5 mph to as much as 4 mpg.
