2008 Hyundai Accent · L4 Sedan
Property of SyundaiDriver. Added Oct 2008.

1.6L DOHC 5-spd manual. Would do better MPG with a higher-ratio top gear. 3,000 RPM at 60 MPH. 30+ city MPG; 40+ freeway MPG. 1/3 city driving to/from work and around town. 2/3 highway for trips twice a month. Stock 3-season tires I switch to winter tires when the snow falls, taking a hit on MPG.
