I just took my first long trip from Barrie Ontario to Michigan for the Nascar race last weekend, almost exactly 500 km one way. On the way home I averaged 8.4 liters/100km or 28 mpg (US) or 33 mpg (Imperial).

I thought this was pretty good considering its rated a 9 liters/100 km on the highway.

Whats everyone else getting?

Cheers

I got the same 33 MPG (imperial) on a 3000 km trip ( 5 fill-ups) from Calgary to Vancouver Island. That includes some bumber to bumper city driving but mostly highway. I'm quite satified with that performance.

I live in AZ and drive 80% highway and 20% city.

I average about 21-22 MPG on every tank so far this is driving between 70-75 MPH and sometimes a bit faster.

I started slowing down about 4 weeks ago. I have been averaging 26.7 - 27.4 MPG per tank and have been able to consistanly hit 400 or over 400 miles per tank driving at no faster than 65MPH now.

Just got back from a 4-state jaunt through Oregon, Nevada, Utah, and Idaho and got an average of 24.3 mpg (US gallons). My best tank was through the Salt Flat Desert of Utah where I got 25.7. I set the cruise control at an indicated 75 mph but I know the speedometer error puts my actual speed around 72 or 73. I reduced my speed to 70 as a test and my mileage dropped. Back up to 75 I did better.

My driving was quite varied but was probably 40% 120kph(75mph), 50% 90-100kph(55-60mph) and the rest in urban or city. Mostly through the Rockies with lots of mountain ups & downs. Not aggressive driving and little air conditioning.

That yielded a bit better than 33mph imperial (27 US).

My site has a fuel economy survey that, unlike others, asks about driving style and driving conditions.

Responses for the Santa Fe here:

Hyundai Santa Fe fuel economy

The default is U.S. MPG. But logged in members see their local units. Members can also filter results to find those that match their own situation.

Yesturday coming through the mountains on a 2008 Santa Fe I did 620 km (75 litre filled) coming from Hinton Alberta to Merrit BC on a tank.

My tank was on fumes at that point.

I did the speed limit or maybe a few km over. I noticed a difference in gas mileage once I went over 2000 rpm though.
