Hey ive got an 06 rio and that was about the mileage that i was getting. I have 8150 miles on mine now and i am getting around 32 mpg. you just have to give it time. my mileage didnt increase dramatically until about 5000 miles after that it just kept getting better.

If you get poor mileage consider your driving habits, tire inflation and weight in the vehicle. They will all greatly factor into your mpg rating. Every 50lbs in a vehicle can lower fuel economy by up to 1mpg! Good fluid condition is also a must. Break in period for any engine is 800-1000miles. As the accent requires lots of rpms to keep it rolling, it won't take as long as it would to break in a larger engine. During that time, the piston rings will get seated into the cylinder walls. Once the rings are tight, your mileage should gradually improve as the miles are rolled on.

I have a 2006 Accent 4-door GLS and get about 31 city and 35 highway.
I added air in the tires and at long traffic light (about 2 min) I turn the engine off. Oil change every 4000 miles also help. I have 6800 miles so far.

Good luck!

I am not sure how accurate this is, yet my boyfriend told me his car had that issue too.. For me I am running about 25mpg 50% on highway.

The lady who sold me my car told me that until I had my first oil change, that my gas mileage would be a little scary and not to worry about it. I thought it could be due to my overdrive mode, but I am just going to wait it out and see. My Car's Price Ticket told me 34-37mpg.. Not 25mpg
