I know that the Elantra is more than capable of meeting its EPA rating because I own one. Just the weekend I was getting 46mpg on a small trip around town. Its just hard for people doing well over 70 on the Highway and racing to stop signs and stop lights to get good fuel economy. People are just unrealistic about being able to get good fuel economy while still driving like its a race to the finish. The Elantra was getting 22mpg over an entire tank before I found ecomodder.com and learned to change my bad driving habits. Now I'm just doing my best to spread the word to the people I know. My fuel economy has improved but isn't as good as the EPA numbers because of all the waiting in the schools car pool line (which I avoid at all costs) and driving up and down massive hills to and from work that kills my fuel economy. It always seams that the hills kill my mileage no matter how easy I take it. I've tried driving with load with no avail. Just my $.02 on the matter.
