My 2011 Accent gets 27MPG. It has 30,000+ miles, is driven a mix of town and highway, mostly moderately, keeping up with highway traffic. My 1995 Honda Civic regularly got 36mpg, and it was driven much more exuberantly. Is this a normal mileage for an Accent when my 2013 Camry gives about 32 mpg. All in all a disappointing car except for price. It is true you get what you pay for.

Look on Fuel [economy.gov](http://economy.gov) and see what you are supposed to get. Check tire pressure, brakes for dragging. I am assuming no check engine light and the air filter has been checked?

[Fuelly.com](http://Fuelly.com) shows 30 mpg average, so you’re only 10% low.

**"Fuelly.com shows 30 mpg average, so you're only 10% low."**

…which could certainly be accounted for by one (or more) of the following:

> inadequate maintenance  
> length of daily drive  
> driver behavior

Why do people state the miles per gallon in absolute numbers. I check each fill up as a habit and my truck has gotten as low as 17 and as high as 21. Where I go and temperature and traffic all have a bearing on the MPG.

Hyundai has been slapped on the wrist several times for overstating their mileage. Also I think you Accent has a 4 speed automatic and your Camry has a 6 speed and electric steering to improve mileage.
