With a little extra highway driving(but no tank that drained in as short as 2 days), I've had 6 out of 7 tanks that were 40+mpg, & 3 that were 42-43mpg. Now the 2013 is in the hands of another family member & we have another Elantra, a 2016 manual tranny....... also averaging 39mpg. Numerous tanks over 40mpg, & 2 tanks to 42.5-43mpg. One tank was 46+mpg..... with stops for ocean beach walks, & pix, interior hilly travel & some moderate I-5 traffic.

Finally, got some warm weather here, east of northern Salish Sea (Puget Sound). While traveling with the mentioned 50,000 mile manual Elantra, its trip computer over a 60+ mile leg, registered 56 MPG. Of course, that's the trip computer. But using 100% gasoline, the computer is accurate.
