Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

Took my wife's new 2012 Sonata on a road trip to Moorhead -averaged 34.5 MPG-had the cruise set at 72MPH.

sorry to hear that. My 2011 Jetta tdi got about that at 70 too.

the best on my bike was 49.6.... you started it, just sayin

2012 Camry LE 2.5 liter, cruise set at 70, 38 mpg and a smoother ride! Best average was 41 with the cruse set at 65 in southern Missouri.

We test drove the sonata, got about three blocks from the dealer and turned around. Those things ride way to rough for a sedan but the look cool as heck!

here i though you got yourself a v6, Jer.... tell Heather NEXT time......

The 2.5 has all the power you need and some pretty good fuel economy to boot!

Mercedes 560SEL, cruise set at 75 (half throttle), 17.5 mpg, no noise, and WHAT a ride! Ha Ha Ha.

Can't fit in them little bitty tin cars.

I've been under the impression hybrids are best in city driving, or mixed driving that tends toward more city. Out on the highway, afaik, there are non-hybrids that get similar mileage.

My intention was just to share some information-the car was her choice(she goes for the look and color of a vehicle),and gets better MPG than her last car-V6 Mazda6.

Camry or Accord would have been more my speed.

It seems like that is pretty good mileage to me. I had a 2009 Corolla that averaged in the mid 30's for all around driving but if I got on the interstate where the speeds got to 70 plus the mileage would drop off pretty good. Same with my Ram Diesel. Mileage is great for a big truck until I hit 70. Any speed over that and it goes down quick.
