'08 Sonata GL 2.4 Manual transmission, 4200 km on the car:

-Avg since day 1: 8.18L/100 km
-Worst tankful: 8.57 Mostly city.
-Best tankful: 7.34 Mostly Highway.

-Last tankful from Oct 22 to Dec 01 returned:
707 km for 58.5 liters = 8.27L/100 km,  (low fuel light lit at 701.5 km).
Considering that this was for mixed driving including several short trips, temperatures from +12 to -12C, second half on winter tires and some driving on snow covered streets, I'm very pleased with these numbers.  But car sits in heated garage at home (+15C). 8)

I changed the oil a month ago and put Motomaster 5W-30 Synthetic and a Napa Gold filter.

P.S.  A softly sprung Sonata is a great ride on 205/65-16 winter tires at -14C. ;D

2005 Suzuki V-strom 650  4.7 to 5.5 L/100 km

1987 Mazda B2000 9.7 to 13.7

2004 Toyota Tundra 2WD Double Cab  14.7 to 16.2 (one highway trip, -20).

It was a big shock filling up the Mazda after driving the motorcycle all summer, fuel mileage is so good with the bike the price of gas is not a concern.
