I've seen a lot of different reviews on the mpg as well. Hyundai says the 6th gear is being used to soon in a press release earlier this year. With the manual, they say 6th shouldn't be used until 65 mph. The engine is quite powerful, but doesn't have massive torque at 2000 rpm to keep from lugging, which wastes more fuel than revving it up. They also claim a longer break in on the new engine than most manufactures do. Driving style also obviously has the biggest impact on mpg, and nearly every test by every car magazine exhibits mpg lower than EPA ratings. They are running brand new cars and usually pushing them to see what they're made of. Another year or so and there should be enough solid data out to either prove or debunk the claims.
