Bring it to Cambodia and things will be drastically different. My neighbor has a V6 (Ecoboost) F-150 here and it does 9 mpg according to him, haha. In comparison, I have a Ford Ranger 2.5 delivery truck as well and it barely tops 14 in the city and it's a manual. I also run a Daewoo Damas van (1.0 L) for small deliveries and it too only does 30 mpg (manual). Again it's down to the horrible congestion here.

As for a different car, well, I just got this, and frankly there is nothing else over here that can be had that does any better, except a motorcycle or a Kubota diesel pickup. At least it seems that way.

I just bought some synthetic oil ($16.50 a quart....) a new oil filter, and trans fluid, so we'll see how it improves, if at all afterwards.

What liter to gallon conversion factor are you using?

3.785 liters per gallon, US. Last fillup went like this for the Hyundai.

364.2 km = 226.3 miles

29.411 liters = 7.77 gallons

226.3 / 7.77 = 29.12 mpg (US).


I'm from the U.S. so I use U.S. gallons.

EDIT @Frank Lee. Not bad mileage for a 302 4x4. I had a 300 (straight 6) F-150 years ago, and it barely did the mileage that your's seems to be doing.

I guess it's an overseas Ranger, which is actually a rebadged Mazda. Gasser or Diesel?

US market, 2.5 gasoline. Come to think about it, I am not sure if it's a 2.3 or a 2.5. It's a 2011, looks like this but silver and it's a 4x4. I think for the US market it's backwards, where Mazda rebadges the Ranger as the B series.

Here in the states you couldn't get a 4 cyl ranger with 4x4 since the 90s.

So, if it's an overseas 4WD, might have the 2.6L 4-banger.

Got the scoop on the truck. It was a wrecked fleet truck which was then shipped over to Cambodia sans the engine/ front. Then someone took a front clip, welded it on and then dropped the 2.3 Duratec motor in it because it then fits in a lower import tax bracket. That's why it was only $27,000 vs. $40,000. Haha, now that's what I call frankenstein.

According to the VIN it was originally a 4.0 liter truck.

Anyway, changed oil (20W-50 down to 10W-40 semi synthetic), filter and trans fluid on the Hyundai. Newest results?! 26.7 mpg US..... Not really sure what to make of it, at this rate I'll be getting negative mpg soon.

Couldn't you get some real kei-car back there, a real Japanese car with the 660cc engine? Some have a CVT, which is better for fuel-savings than the 3-speed slushbox
