Wires fairly recently. '

YOU :Can you quantify this increase? What wires did you get and was your
radio reception affected?

ME : I picked up another 1-1.5 mpg  in fuel economy both around town and
highway going 60 mph.   Radio reception was not affected.  I cant
remember the name of the Ignition Wire Set i bought at a local Car Parts
place, but i asked if they had access to Higher Performance type
Ignition wires for hyundai , and they did.  Ill research this more
tomorrow and let you know.

When I had my Elantra GT and put Plus 4s in it with stock wires I saw no
change in fuel economy.

'Would you buy again ?
'

REPLY:  Yes.  Im on my second Hyundai and ive bought my folks two as
well.  The reliability has more than surpassed my expectations with
45,000 miles on my current 2002 SantaFe  , and fuel economy has actually
increased since replacing the spark plugs with Bosch Plus 4 plugs along
with performance type Ignition Wires fairly recently.   I like the
styling, comfort, sound system,  soft ride, and outstanding warranty.
Hyundai has earned my loyalty and respect.  Its amazing how this Company
has gone from making crap back in the 1980's  to enjoying a good
American and worldwide market share.
