I think the trans is mostly to blame, but also that the older Hyundais like this just aren't as good on gas for whatever reason. I don't know why, but that's the way it seems it is. I had an Elantra which was a fantastically reliable car, but it never saw the other side of 30 mpg on the freeway. 22-28 was all that ever came out of it.
Tires: As of now the tires are at 40 psi (max sidewall = 44), and the wheels are already alloys. I got a flat tire yesterday and changed it. The steelie in the boot was noticeably heavier. Also, in Cambodia there are no RX7s or AE86s and importing wheels would be too much for too little gain I imagine.
Package Features: This car came straight from Korea (I'm the first owner here in Cambodia), and it seems like the Korean market cars come in any shape, package, etc. Makes sense, seems how Korea is one of Hyundai's biggest markets.
Anyway, I am starting to think maybe I might be stuck with sub 40's for mileage, considering I'm not willing to go for a standard transmission.
