Wonder if the newer Sonata is really that much more efficient, or if the OP was using the cars over reporting OEM readout. The best I have ever gotten out of our auto equipped 09 Sonata is a dissapointing 34 MPG.
He's not gone. I think he's just too busy to waste his time in the forums. He's logged 5 fill-ups since April - the latest entry in his fuel log was September 13. It looks legitimate to me with actual miles and gallons logged. His % over EPA is about in line with what I get out of my 4-Liter Ford Mustang. His driving conditions and techniques must be similar to mine.
Best I've been able to get out of my Mustang was 34.34 MPG.
