The car is advertised at getting much higher MPG that it actually gets. I have been trying to drive moderately, and with the air-conditioning off as much as possible with the windows up (to reduce wind-drag). My current MPG is 39.4.
The best long-term MPG I have had is 39.7 (per trip, I have done better or worse... this is the displayed average).
I drive 60-miles to-and-from work each day, alone in the car, and 60% of that driving is highway driving at 65 MPH. I understand that once I hit over 62 MPH, the efficiency will begin to decrease, however it should still be closer to the advertised highway/city MPG.
This is most-certainly a class-action type of frustration, as there can be no other explanation to the poor fuel efficiency.
On a regular basis, a co-working commuting twice the distance I am in a Honda Civic (non-hybrid) is getting well over 45mpg (and occasionally has sent me photos where his commute has him over 50mpg). I understand that his civic is a smaller, lighter car, but per the advertised mpg values, I know my car should be doing better.
RATED AT 47/47 MPG. DRIVE IT INTENTIONLY TO GET BEST MILEAGE. NEVER GOT OVER 36 MPG. I THINK HYUNDAI GOT HIT WITH A BIG LAWSUIT FOR NOT GETTING ADVERTISED MILEAGE. FORD SHOULD ALSO. SYNC STINKS...BAD SYSTEM
