The car is advertised to get 28 mpg city and 38 mpg highway. I get 21 in the city and 30 on the highway. How can the advertise the way they do and get away with it? That is false advertising. It is not even close. Big corporations all seem to be crooked.
I went on a trip to Albuquerque, NM on 08/25/2016 from El Paso, TX (all highway trip obviously) with a full tank of gas. When I arrived there after driving approx. 240 miles, I was on less then a quarter tank of gas. My family member who was driving a Chevy Cruze and put gas at the same time we left to Albuquerque, still had more than a quarter tank of gas left despite his vehicle being bigger than mine. When doing math, my car gave me less than 20 miles to the gallon. Currently, and at the point of sale of this vehicle, this product was to give me 38 miles per gallon.

I felt embarrassed and deceived specifically since the whole reason for this purchase was to save on gas.
This car currently has just over 12,000 miles and gets inspected and oil changed every 3000 miles.
