[blupupher]

My overall average is around 33. Mostly highway with about 15% around town with the A/C on.

[Kenshin]

I have a 2002 GT Hatch 5-Speed. I have been averaging around 25mpg with about 95% in-town driving. (Short hops to and from work is about all I drive.) No mods...yet. :D

[BobMs_wht2k2]

Averaging 32 now. CAI big 17's. Was getting 28 in city.

[OPZ]

29/30 with modified stock intake short ram, and muffler. Also, thats a fair balance of city driving with highway, more city though...

[archywills]

2003 5 SPEED GLS

week: 32 mpg (mix of city/interstate = 20/90)
weekend: 35 mpg (mostly highway/interstate)

[evan938]

ive been checking lately...ive been averaging 26-30, mainly city driving with some highway. about 75/25

[BobMs_wht2k2]

Actually filled up this morning and got right at 49 mpg, but that was the bike.

[GTSTISL]

i get 21.5, im pissed. idk why the hell a stock i4 is getting 21.5 but who knows...

[Doug865]

I'm getting 27.8 according to the computer in my 04 GT 5 speed. That's in suburban driving, not highway. The only intake mod is a K&N air filter.

[Gun5]

stuck @ 20.4 im pissed! getting a CAI soon though

[importspeed]

I have 2 Elantras Both Cars are driven in city trafic, the newest is an 05 5-speed which I drive to and from work 40 miles.averaging between24-27 city.
the other is an 01 automatic that my girlfriend drives (city and not heavy on the gas pedal) this car with 62K miles, new air filter, plugs and wires, and cannot break 20 MPG :mad. i cannot figure this out. :confused:

[2001GLS]

Stock 01 GLS 5 speed. I get about 25 around town, about 35 on the highway.

[evan938]

columbus to chicago w/ 1.5 hours of chicago traffic at 6pm (almost dead stop) i hit 36.6 mpg, mostly freeway

[Seinster]

This is going to be a pain to work out.
I get 200 km/ 18 litres
which is 124 Miles/4.75 Gallons
which is 26 MPG.

This is in 75% city conditions, 25% highway, average rev range for shifting 2600-3200.
A/C used 35% of the time, one window open 65% of the time.

Unfortunately I don't have a device for measuring my Km/L on the fly. I miss that.

2004 Elantra 5-speed.

How does one go about figuring out their gas mileage?

[southpawboston]

fill your tank. reset the trip odomoter. drive until you need to refill. record the amount of gas it took to fill. divide that number (in gallons) into the number of miles on your trip odomoter. that is your gas mileage for the last tank of gas.

if you want it to make it more precise, measure the average over many tankfulls. i.e., after your initial fill-up and zeroing of the odomoter, continue recording all the gas you add to your car and don't reset the odomoter. after a good 1000 miles or so, divide all the gas you put into your car into the mileage on the odometer.

[Gun5]

thing reads 18-19 after reset ECU...... (300-400 miles later) im flooring and spinning wheels everywhere :D

[PJB]

29 on my last tank and 32 on the tank before that. I do mainly city driving going to and from work. I used the ac a few times on the last tank too.

[Gregster]

100% a/c, heat and humidity is too much here not to use

Winter

[Von Iobro]

I have a 2001 Elantra GLS 5-speed with about 78,000 miles. I normally average about 33 MPG. I drive about 95% highway. Normally I have to fill up a gas-tank per week. Overall, I've been pretty happy about my Elantra's fuel-consumption (and lack of oil consumption!)

[GTsmokeya]

When I had my Elantra with a short ram intake and an automatic trans on a 04 GT sedan I got 34.9 on the highway. I have to get use to the Tiburon not getting that kinda mileage.

[ilanpro]

I get 27 city and 36 highway at 65mph 5th gear

[gunwoo82]

I get about 21 city 25 high way. 2003 GT sedan 5 speed. short arm intake

[ilanpro]

I also have a header and a SRI

[only1db]

i get about between 24 and 27 with a combo of extremely hilly driving usually aggressively and highway at 80 or so....Turbo will make all that better!! LOL!!

[ersatz]

25mpg mixed highway/city with moderate AC usage. Not bad for 2001 with almost 90k miles. This also includes sitting in crappy Southern California traffic with the AC on.

[yevRPS]

i've hit 40+mpg mark (according to trp computer) on an 80-90 mile drive from hermitage to pittsburgh.

usually average 27-29mpg 20% city 80% hiway

[waif69]

With less than 1k on the car, I am getting (according to the computer) 29-31, almost all country driving between 35-65 during a normal commute to work.

[skeetre]

say... when your tank is half full, fill it up all the way, save the receipt with the # of gallons you put it, write your mileage on the receipt, drive it until it's half full again.. check your mileage now. mileage now - mileage you wrote on the reciept, divided by the # of gallons you put in. (I hope my math is right) ;)


I get right about 25 city and 35 highway, 5 speed '01. No mods at all yet except a dented right front end.

[Elantra_GT_chic]

Just filled up, 28.5 mpg.

[Estopatitiana]

yeah i tested mine from colorado to illinois..and i think the best and most accurate way to test it is fill up on a gas station off the interstate then imediatly(dont idle too long) drive very conservativly onto the highway and set it on cruise on level ground at about 75 mph..with all my mods excluding the tb i got 36.3..with the tb its like 28..no air conditioning

[PJB]

30.7 on my last tank. Most of my driving is in traffic with a little highway.
My car is totally stock.

[Leviathant]

Holy crap. I just got 37mpg on my last tank.

[jetskiscott2]

I have a 2004 manual trans. I'm getting 25-27 with 75 percent of my driving on city streets. I went to San Diego one weekend and got 32 with conservative driving and no air conditioning. This is the best car on the market for the money. I bought it new last January for 9,000! It was advertised as 'one at this price'. I would have gotton another 1,000 off if I had been a previous Hyundai owner.

[g35doc]

2005 auto
2/3 hwy
windows down almost always
27.5 mpg

[fgummett]

For working out your MPG I find the best way is to note the odometer when you fill the tank (fill it right up). Next time you refill (fill it right up again), note the odometer again and amount of fuel needed to refill. If you are using Miles and Gallons you are done e.g. if it takes 5 gallons to refill completely after driving 150 Miles that comes to 150/5 = 30 MPG. If you keep a regular log of miles between each fill up you can figure a better overall average. Of cours eit kinda hard to work this if you don't always fill it right up ;-) If you are also North of the border and want to figure litres/100km ask again as I have some conversion factors you can use.
