Umm... the new Elantra isn't direct injected. The 1.6 in the Accent is, but the Elantra's 1.8 is still MPFI.
Wayne at CleanMPG tested the stickshift elantra with cruise control. RPM is about 2400 at 60 mph (ie not that great). Note that these numbers are right in line with PM's shown above.
MPH - MPG
60 - 46.9
65 - 44.3
70 - 39.1
50 mpg at 80 mph is dreaming. I believe you could see that for a moment on the instant mpg readout, but you couldn't maintain speed at that mpg level.
