We had a long traffic snarl due to road work, and much city driving. We don't do very well in the city, but we love the Santa so much it's not a big problem - actually, it's better MPG than our old VW Pasatt. How does yours do? mark

Since they put in a new motor the mpg su$ks at around 20. Have been thinking of getting rid of it but still really don't want to. It has kind of grown on us. shup

It beats the wife's '07 Tucson by around ten percent, which ticks her off no end. All our gas now has ethanol in it, which kills fuel mileage. We have only Congress to blame with their @#%$^&* subsidies.

The car already had around 40 miles of urban driving on it. I just filled up to check the fuel consumption, this is what I got.. Overall mixed driving for 188 miles... 26.4 mpg Taking into account the 40 miles of urban trips, I have worked out that I got around just over 29mpg today. This was 150 miles of motorway & dual carriagway at between 50-70mph A/C off. This was with 2 adults, 2 kids. Not bad at all! ....just filled up again after same trip to Wales....152 miles..24.31 litres = 28.43 mpg and happy Santy owner!
