    Been looking into the fuel economy of my car – 45mpg.

    Compared it to a Hyundai I-30 diesel 1.6 which reports to be as below.

    On 30K miles per year, and with the unlimited mileage warranty, the annual fuel cost goes from around £4300 to £3100.

    Can get top of the range with a third off as they are changing models for around £200 a month for 4 years if I trade in my gas-guzzling Focus. (£12,000, or pauper versionfor £10K, but I need cruise for managed motorways with average speed check).

    Just wondering if anyone has any I-30 experience and can advise if 60mpg on a hilly motorway does look rather realistic or not….

    EC Urban (mpg) 53.3
    EC Extra Urban (mpg) 68.9
    EC Combined (mpg) 62.8

        Person A: "So, what car do you drive?"
        Person B: "I've got a Hyundai..."
        Person A: "...Urm, just remembered I've got to wash my hair. Bye!"

        Enough said.

          If your going to get a car for fuel economy and you live in wilmslow at least get a Volkswagen or Honda/Toyota or some other mid-range car. Talking about Hyundai is permie talk.

              Good way of weeding out the gold diggers then.

                  Hyundais/Kias are now as well built as Honda, Toyota and better than a Focus.
                  Designed in Germany, built in Europe, the only "dodgy" thing is the badge.
                  Still I suppose there are morons who don't understand how the car industry workd and/or have small penises who would spend £5K more for a Focus.
