Hyundai Gas Mileage?

The numbers are close, but that's not quite true. The small SUV Hyundai Tucson V6 is rated at 18/24, the Tiburon V6 manual is rated 17/24. The manual I4 Tiburon is rated at 20/28 while the I4 manual Tucson is rated at 20/25. The Tiburon is about 300 pounds lighter then the Tucson. The Santa Fe with 3.3L V6 automatic also gets 17/24. The reason for this is...the 2.7L V6 is an old engine that needs to be phased out. Also, some of the Hyundai's still have 4-speed automatics, a 5-speed automatic will gain you 1-2 MPG, the 3.3L Santa Fe has that versus the 2.7L Santa Fe rated at 18/24. What's even odder, the Tiburon 6-speed manual is rated 1MPG less then the 5-speed manual. The 2010 Genesis coupe (tiburon replacement?) will be coming out in late 2008/early 2009 and has a turbo charged I4 or 3.8L V6 engine options. BTW, I drive the 5-speed automatic 3.8L V6 Azera rated at 17/26 weighing 700 pounds more then the Tiburon, best car I've ever driven/owned.

I drive a Hyundai Tucson V6 and on a full tank I get about 465 km a tank. I have a 4 speed auto trans, 2.7l engine and it works great. For a SUV, I really cant complain about the gas mileage.

The mileage your getting sounds concerning to the comparable as what we had on our '03 elantra. We have been fairly dissapointed additionally. We traded it in for a Scion Xb and what a distinction in gasoline mileage. The Xb definetly gets 33mpg. Sorry you had to be duped. sturdy success.
