36.1 mpg at 70 - 75 mph between Jackson WY and Denver with only 1,000 miles on the odometer. 25 mpg so far in pure city driving with many short trips. see full Kia Spectra review

While its not a hybrid, when you move from a gas-guzzling minivan to the Touring, it feels like you are no longer owned by the oil companies. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review
2012 4dr Wagon 138-horsepower 2.0L I4

I was somewhat disappointed by the fuel economy of this car. You are not going to see the 40 mpg numbers like the standard elantra. I drive in the city and get 25-30mpg on average. Typical highway mileage is pretty good though - I got between 35-37 mpg. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review
2011 4dr Wagon 138-horsepower 2.0L I4

The fuel economy of the car has been exactly as advertised, unlike the new Elantra design. The Elantra Touring has consistently recorded 27 mpg in city driving and 33+ mpg in highway driving. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review

28 mpg in all suburban driving. Very impressive for a car rated 22/30 see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review

Averaging 35-36 mpg, with as high as 41.5 mpg. This is great for a vehicle with a EPA rating of 30 MPG for the highway. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review

Excellent highway economy, topping 40MPG (downhill, with a tailwind, mostly coasting - but it is still possible!) see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review
