| Description of the problem | This vehicle was purchase new on 2/4/11. It is rated at 20 mpg city 30 mpg highway. The mileage has consistently been poor. It now has 4200 miles on it and highway mileage with the cruise control on, in warm weather, with no load other than the driver is around 24 mpg. I had it checked by hyundai and they replaced the 02 sensor. This improved the highway mileage slightly from 23 to 24 mpg. It has never approached 25 mpg let alone 30 mpg. I have read about others complaining about the poor mileage on 4 cylinder genesis coupes. If the mileage ratings had been more accurate i would not have even considered buying this car. Please recalculate the mileage ratings to accurately reflect what people will get. |
