That is pretty impressive. I get 34-36 highway on my Elantra, and it's
a much smaller car with a smaller engine.

Re: Happy with my gas mileage
 

I have a 2002 Hyundai Accent Auto and mine never goes above 24 miles
per gallon.
It has 17K miles on it and I am wondering if I have to take it to the
dealer or what? But then is this covered under warranty, can anyone
comment?

My 2003 accent GL gets 35mpg while using the AC. Adjustments are covered
but I don't remember for how long. Contact your dealer asap. You might as
well have an SUV with that mileage.

Re: Happy with my gas mileage
 

I just looked at the www.kbb.com site and saw that my car's suggested
is 26city /35 hwy mpg. Since mine is not brand new, I guess I am doing
O.K.
Don't you think?
