Just as the dealer had told us would probably happen, the mileage we are getting is higher than the car's specs estimate that it will be.
We drive alot, especially all over Florida for pleasure trips, and wanted a car with good gas mileage so that the increasing gasoline prices wouldn't be an irritation on those trips, yet still wanted a full-size car.

Just curious Freeda, but are you quoting mileage from the trip computer? I have 2010 4 cylinder Sonata SE and I find the trip computer does not agree with actual miles driven and fuel consumed. I average around 32MPG and that includes some 70MPH highway driving as well as local Villages trips. This was measured over a period using 4 fill-ups of gas so I feel it is pretty accurate. I have checked the accuracy of the odometer using a GPS and also highway mile markers.
By the way, I am satisfied with 32MPG. I have obtained 35MPG on trips on secondary roads maintaining speed limits maxing out at 60MPH.
