New Record! (43.94 mpg - 2011 Sonata GLS)
Have a previous thread about the difference oil makes so I won't explain again, but a new record. 681 miles / 15.5 gallons, = 43.94 mpg!
YES!

I think the longer body is better aerodynamically.
Several years ago I drove 2 Altima's, both with the 4 cyl and auto trans, on the same day, same route, one was a 4 door and the other a 2 door. The 4 door got 10% better mileage.
