Tinted! Will take some getting used to after being in a fishbowl the last month, and very minimal factory tints on the Jeep for 4 years prior to that. Went back to what I had on the GTI with 5% VLT on the rear windows and 20% on the front windows.

Had my first fuel up with a long freeway drive on it too. 33.7mpg over 371 miles with 184 of that essentially being the freeway from San Diego to Lancaster :notbad: for half a tank doing 80-85 on the freeway and the other half being derping around town with lots of stops. I’ll probably fill up again tomorrow after I get back to San Diego and see what just driving on the freeway and then to get gas looks like. Expecting 35-36mpg for that trip.

I should have put that shit on the wife's Fishy cracker collector, would've saved myself a distracted driving charge.

:notbad: , but I think you should be able to do a bit better. :tits: 's H Sonata got 34+ all highway at those speeds with a trunk full of luggage, and it's a bigger car with a bigger engine than your Elantra. What engine does your have?

Just a little 2.0 as far as I know.. really haven’t looked into much on this thing. Going full :derp: appliance mode with it. Taking a little stop on the way home now, but with just the drive on the freeway after filling up earlier the onboard calculator is showing 39.7mpg :notbad: I’ll get home this evening and basically go straight to get gas in the morning so I’ll report back on a 99% freeway drive fuel economy.

:dat: is closer to what I would expect you to get, based on what I said above. Our :tits: mobile has the NA 2.5 so 25% bigger than yours so I'm sure you'll get better empeegees

What does the Sonata average around the city over a tank.

Well, I barely drive it since if we go anywhere local I almost always do the driving in the Blue Meanie, and :tits: never really notices shit like that. In fact, she never even resets her trip odometers when she fills up, :lol: , but I'd GUESS upper 20's. IT's a pretty low-stressed mill that doesn't really love to rev.

Yea that’s solid… I wouldn’t expect much over low 30s. Engine size doesn’t really matter on the freeway because you’re essentially just dealing with wind resistance.

I thought the same thing. Our Sonata - bigger car, bigger engine, auto, easily gets high 20's-low 30's :derp: around on suburban streets and mid 30's on the highway.
California driving is a bit different than most states. Which is why I am getting 26 in a mini also. We go much faster on freeways and our cities have long lights/traffic etc.
Thats pretty much like Istanbul tbh

Damn dude you went super dark … I guess we don’t have law enforcement anymore but the only time I had issues was below 35% on the fronts.

I usually go 25/back 35 front or 35back /50 front

Sadly I think the modern automatics are just that much more fuel efficient with their 7-10 gears and whatnot. My 328i gets like 32 highway and I think autos are like +10%. That’s probably reducing the Bome Sawce Machine a bit.

Yeah I planned on going lighter on the front so I don’t get hassled by cops, but decided to risk it. If I get any trouble I’ll go up to 35 or 50 in the front.

200 miles home and a few stops before filling up today with a trip mpg of 37.1. I was doing 80-90 the whole way with the flow of traffic.

You'd probably even get another mpg or 2 between 70 and 80. :like:
