I just saw this EPA report in today's LATimes, but I gotta say, the Sonata I rented last summer in PA was remarkable in 6th gear, down around 1700/1800 RPMs at 60mph, IIRC. The Elantra auto trnas also has that gearing. I'll try to talk my wife out of her 2010 Subaru Forester and into one of these in a year or two, when she can get a dealer-certified used one with much of its heaviest depreciation already complete.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
