I agree 100%.
None of the other cars I have owned have had such a difference between
the "sticker" MPG and actual I was getting.
My Santa Fe does not have a mileage calculator, so my analysis is based
on my miles on the tripmeter and gas pumped at fillups.
I am not happy getting only 2/3% of the stated MPG when on all my other
cars its been closer to 3/4%.
All I wanted was to ask if others were getting poor MPG on their Santa Fe's.
Thanks for your time.
