Hyundai and Kia recently came under fire for overstating the mileage on many four-cylinder cars, and in today’s Thread of the Day, we’re asking all of you the way closely the mileage you get compares to the official EPA-rated figures. And in what conditions do you drive Thread creator mynamehere drove a 2007 Toyota camry XLE V-6 that achieved the EPA-rated numbers until a move to La, with its omnipresent traffic, deflated mileage. Do you get on the point of EPA city/highway mpgs for your car Let us know about your experience below.

Observed, real-world mileage sometimes contradicts fuel-economy numbers from the EPA, counting on driving conditions, driving habits, and the way you maintain your car. Within the most up-to-date Motor Trend midsize sedan comparison test, as an example, the 2012 Volkswagen Passat SE can have had the bottom EPA ratings (22/31 mpg), however the five-cylinder midsizer still finished the evaluation within one mpg of the most productive test-car, a 2013 Nissan Altima 2.5 SV with EPA ratings of 27/38 mpg.
