Re: mpg on a Sonata 2006 GS
Seems a bit low to me. I get in the 22-23 MPG range with the GLS V6.

Re: mpg on a Sonata 2006 GS
Seems a bit high to me. I'm getting 19-20 mpg in town on my LX.

What does your trip meter's average speed show? At 39mph, which I estimate
to be about 85% highway and 15% city, my GLS V6 gets 26.1 MPG measured.
Be aware that the trip meter is not real accurate in varying conditions.
Mine is always within 1 mpg in general driving, but city driving can confuse
it.

Your average speed is awfully low. Sounds like 60% city, 40% highway, but
hard to tell.
Have you tried tuning your ESC off for a tank of gas? Some owners are saying
it drags down their mileage. I really doubt this, but it's possible.
