In my experience with our Hyundai Sonata, the European numbers are way too optimistic, quoting 9l/100km combined, our last tank we got 10l/100km, and this tank looks like we might make it to the low 9s with trying from both myself and my mum. The EPA rating for it is 9.8l/100km, which seems to be a pretty reasonable estimate.
