I recently purchased a 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT; traded in my 2010 Hyundai Elantra. The sticker advertises 39 mpg hwy, the 2010 was 32 mpg hwy. Two days after I bought it, I read that the EPA is investigating Hyundai/Kia for falsely stating mpg. Criminal charges are possible and even rebates to consumers. When I bought the 2010 (new), I tracked the mpg for a year and averages 31 mpg. After four tankfuls the 2013 is doing the same. I'm building my case.
I don't get it. If it advertises 39, and yours is now 31 how could this be bad?
For a moment I thought the same, because here in Germany we count the liters per 100 km - the less the better. But with miles per gallon, it's just the opposite, unless your goal is to consume as much gas per mile as possible.
