If we are talkin mileage- even when I had the 42lb injectors and charger, I was still getting mid 20's on the highway, at that was with the 3.73's. The main thing is your tune. Typically the more efficient your motor is, the better mpg you are going to get.

And Caleb, I will be honest, I don't know anyone personally who has a BRAND NEW Tib, but all of the people I do know that have Hyundai's, they were all rattle-box POS's getting fixed all the time.

So maybe Hyundai has fixed their cars, but until I know someone who has an awesome experiance with one, I will defend my standpoint. I am more than willing to accept that they might make a good vehicle now, I'm just waiting for someone to prove it to me thats all...

What a bad tune u most have goten. A local with a cam/4.10s/stall and it has been tuned can keep his RPMs down to 2000rpms when crusing on the highway at 70-75ish...he does not get that horrible gas mileage u seem to.

Im a M5. Not automatic... not sure how much the difference would be. But there is no way hes making 70 mph @ 2000 rpm with 4.10's. Maybe with 3.73's.

And the tune is from Texas-speed.

I think Id belive more that you have a leak in your gas tank than you getting 9-11 mpg... Thats insanely ****** for a v6. Thats like 150 miles on a tank.

Well, my odo shows about 200 per tank, but my speedo is off from the gears. So I really dunno. Im going by my best estimate.

I would think so, since you can just shift low in a manual.

Im not disputing what any of you are saying, im just telling you what mine gets lol. And if you have any ideas on how to improve it, do let me know
