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.

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

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
