Funny note: At lunch watched a soccer mom in a 2004 Suburban 2500 8.1 gas running 70 mph in a 40 right up to the red stoplight and stand on the brakes to get stopped in time. You can see the stopped trafic at this particular light for almost a mile. 10mpg + bad driving habit=priceless!

I have a 2001 Suburban (still had 4 kids living at home when I bought it) and I average 18 MPG. That's with the AC blasting. I'm going to be really upset if the
Elantra only gets 1 MPG better.
