The web site for Hyundai.com lists the miles per gallon for a GLS Sonata as 5-speed manual (city / highway) (4-cylinder) 21 / 32 MPG and 5-speed automatic (city / highway) (4-cylinder) 22 / 32 MPG.
This dealership did a full page advertisement that first listed the MPG in the Lakeland Ledger newspaper two weeks ago as 34 MPG. Then June 19th in the Advertiser advertisement it listed the 2009 Sonata GLS as getting 38MPG and then on June 21st in the Lakeland Ledger advertisement it listed the 2009 Sonata GLS as getting 37MPG.
Since I have been looking to purchase this particular model I find these advertisements misleading. I believe the dealership is uping the MPG to entice potential buyers when it is actually misleading. The dealership needs to print the truth in it's advertisements. According to Hyundai Motors USA it is 32 MPG
period.
Guess I will buy my Sonata maybe at the Hyundai dealership in Lakeland or Brandon. It's a shame as I live in Winter Haven where this dealership is located.
