litesong -> RE: Do Accents really get 37mpg? (7/11/2008 3:23:29 PM)

My wife owns a 5 speed 2008 Hyundai Accent. Her hard commute has some stop & go highway traffic, city, country & some speed limit highway driving. Struggling between 30 & 32 MPG thru the winter, she has managed to raise the overall average up to 32+ MPH with the warmer weather. As a feather footer in my own car, I was hoping that her Accent would get better MPG. I saw this thread, & wished she could get 37 MPG.
Finally, 6 co-workers banded together to drive a community transit vehicle to work. That''s better than real good MPG!
Anyhow, her Accent sat in the garage. She said yes, when I asked if I could take it on some day trips to the mountains. I found out that Accent takes care of itself on trips.
Going over 1400, 3000, 4000, & 5500 foot mountain passes, Accent got 41.5, 42.6, & 45.1 MPG!
Does Accent get 37MPG? No, it gets more...at least for feather footers!
