| | | | Vehicular Lord Rick| Posted by vince So I bought a elantra, it works fine,except the gas mileage is weird.I made an experiment : I waited until my fuel light lit up.I put about 35 liters of gas.Wait for the light to lit up again.With the 35 liters, I made 258 kilometers/160 miles.I know the fuel gauge are generally not accurate,but it still weird.I checked the tire pressure,I change the air filter,it's a 2006 with 23 300 miles,so except than that I can't see what can be wrong.That was mostly town driving, but I tried to be easy on the acceleration.Is it normal for that kind of car ? What should I check ? |
| | | | | | Vehicular Lord Rick| Posted by vince I got rid of my buick century because it had a whole lot of problem which made the car burn about 18 liters of gas / 100 kilometers, and I was expecting much better with an elantra.I checked the spark plugs, they are not rusted but I will have someone look a it.When we talk about '' wires '' what are those exactly ? Is it possible that the sensor or something that determine the amount of gas left is defective ? |

| | | Posted by Samurai i'm telling you, the mileage is about right for that car. |
| | Vehicular Lord Rick| Posted by TheVicariousVadder 35 liters I made 258 kilometers/160 miles liters to gallons = 9.24602183 160 / 9.24602183 = 17.3047396 17.3 mpg is not right for that car, he should be getting mid 20s. I think his measurements are off though. Fill the tank up all the way and set your trip meter to zero. Next time you refill, fill up again and divide the miles traveled by amount of gas you have to put in to fill the tank again. |
| | | | Vehicular Lord Rick| Posted by Nismo I do like 13l 100km in my car and i rip it like crazy Fuel Filters are not "serviceable" items on Hyundais, you need to take the gas tank off to change it. |
| | | | Vehicular Lord Rick| Posted by Nismo I have a lambo in the shop right now for an oil change. you need to take the throttle bodies off to access the oil filter lollll |
