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.
Yeah, that's what we do as well. So that's why I'm confused.
