Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / September 2006Trip Computer accuracy
I'm curious is anyone has check the computer against actual numbers for fuel mileage. Tonight I filled the tank for the second time on my Sonata with the 3.3 L According to the trip computer, I was getting 22.1 mpg. According to actual calculations, I was getting 21.57. IMO, that is accurate enough considering the variables in topping off and the methods the calculator would use. . This is a combination of light city and highway. My LeSabre would normally get 22 to 23 under the same conditions. With only 600 miles, I think it should get better once broken in a bit more. OK, if you want to get technical, it was 21,56739811922257053291536050157 but for practical purposes, rounding it up to 21,567398119222570533 is close enough. I have checked mine as well and I am within 0.5 miles per gallon, as are you, which is pretty darm close so I'm impressed. I am averaging around 25 mpg combined and can see 29 - 30 driving highway if I stay within 65 mph...my problem is that I have a lead foot:) Going 80 I am seeing around 25 mpg which isn't bad. I have had my car for 5 weeks and will turn 4,000 miles tomorrow. >I have checked mine as well and I am within 0.5 miles per gallon, as are > you, which is pretty darm close so I'm impressed.

I'll put about 22k on this year on this car. I'll be taking the first long tip this weekend where I'll put a little over 600 miles, much highway. Well, I'm not sure that the Garden State Parkway will qualify as highway driving. I am in eastern PA and have had my share of driving on the Garden State Parkway. I guess it will depend on how much traffic you hit:) Enjoy your weekend! > I am in eastern PA and have had my share of driving on the Garden State > Parkway.

When you get about 25 miles from the NYS border, things usually slow down a bit, and again on the southern end, near Cape May. I have noticed that traffic can get particularly bad on weekend afternoons. Eric |
