I'm a retired Englishman "Limey" I was with Landrover for the final 25 years of my working life so I know a little bit about driving 4x4s at least thats what I tell my daughter, who incidentally calls me the "old fart" Can,t think why I'm only 70 years young, I don't wanna fall of me perch just yet!! 
 
I do a lot of fishing, kiss em and put em back, don't murder then eat em like you lot Heh! Heh!!
Find the Santa Fe great for these outings,twice a week summer and winter, usually get soaked thats what the weathers quite often like in good old Blighty!

Welcome to the forum.

 Hi Clay,

I get between 34 - 36 mpg thats with the British gallon  which I believe  is slightly  bigger  than the  US Gallon, I used to  get  38  mpg
before I fitted side pipes  come  steps, I presume  this was because  the  four  fixxing brackets present  a flat  surface  to the  slipstream.

Gazza!!!

Good mileage!

You'll find that 34 to 38mpg is the norm for the 2.2 diesels, new tucsons as well, just check the British forums,
but you must remember the imperial gallon is bigger tha the US gallon.

Gazza!!!

Funny what us old duffers know:

1 U.S. gallon = 0.833 British Imperial gallon   or

1 British Imperial gallon = 1.201 U.S. gallons

FYI FWIW 

HTHs

Okay. I'll bite.
 
What's a Zimmer?
 
 
 
 

A Zimmer Frame is a support frame that old codgers use instead of walking sticks,what do you call them in the States?

You should do a Google search for "Zimmer."
 
Nice hand-built rather expensive car.
 
I've not progressed to a zimmer (or walker), but maybe in another few years, who knows?
