Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / March 2005Realistic gas mileage for '05 Sante Fe
I am considering purchasing a mini-SUV, and the Sante Fe is one consideration. However, I'm a bit concerned about getting some realistic estimate of the gas mileage. 95%+ of my driving will be highway. The 2.7L engine seems to offer the best mileage, but only has a 4speed auto transmission. The 3.5L engine is larger, but also has the option of a 5speed auto transmission. Can someone give me an idea of realistic highway mileage for either of the above engines, for a GLS or LX? Thx. Don't know if this will help, but with a 1000 miles on my '05 LX 3.5 I'm getting about 16 mph. About 60% of my driving is highway mileage.

Funny you should post this now. I just returned from a trip to Florida, 1523 miles [round trip]. I kept close track of my mileage to see what it really would be. My '04 with a 2.7L averaged 26.4 mpg for the highway portion of the trip. The part I really liked was the cruising range, 420 miles between fill-ups. I had the cruise control set at 75 for the majority of the time. Very satisfied. > I am considering purchasing a mini-SUV, and the Sante Fe is one > consideration.

But use BP or Citgo & 13 city, 18 hwy. So try it with yours. > Funny you should post this now. I just returned from a trip to Florida, 1523 > miles [round trip].

The car has the 4 sp auto gearbox, and no cruise control. |
