Car Forum / Kia Cars / December 2004Amanti gas mileage
I have an Amanti about two months old, and find that the gas mileage is very poor... about 14 mpg. I like everything else about the car except this. Has anyk one else had a similar problem?

How do you like driving it?

Easy or hard? Also, the experience with my Sorento is that the mileage improves over time. The key is to baby the car over the first 2000 kms (1200 miles) or so, with lots of steady highway driving being ideal. Finally, is the 14 MPG figure a combined total or simply city stop-and-go? Hope this helps!  SignatureTim Lapin timl@sympatico.ca I have a new Amanti with 600 mi and am getting 17.5 mpg with 100 percent city driving so far. If you're spending a lot of time at red lights or idling this can reduce the mileage. >I have an Amanti about two months old, and find that the gas mileage is >very poor... about 14 mpg.

The car has 8300 miles on it now.......Yeah, it would be nice if it was alot better but it ain't going to happen...............
