When I bought my new Hyundai in march of 2012 the sticker said it would get about 40 miles per gallon. It turned out that it was really closer to 37 miles per gallon. As a consequence, there might have been a class action law-suit or something and now they have to make good on their original promise of 40 m.p.g.. How can they do that? Once a year, or as often as I like, I can go to the dealer and have them read the odometer. Then, from that, they calculate how much money I should get to make up for getting less mileage. (And they throw in a little extra for my trouble.)
Instead of paying out cash, they mail me a Hyundai (MPG Rewards Card) Debit MasterCard. If it happens to be a lot of money, I can get a pin number as a safegard, in case I lose it. In my case, it's not much money because I don't do a lot of driving.
This was my first debit card since I bought the car and it was only good for about $26 dollars. That's because I only put on about 2,000 miles per year. But this arrangement will continue for as long as I own the car.
