I was wondering what people get for gas milage with their kias?
My Sorento gets 17 mpg and my 2.4L Optima gets 25.5 mpg, mixed driving. Thought it would be interesting to know what everyone else gets. With mods if ya have any or without. It could be some usefull info for some people too.

I've only got 3300km on my '05 Spectra5, so it's still not as good as it will eventually be, but I'm getting about 28MPG highway and about 24 city... It's going for a good 600km round trip into the mountains this weekend so we'll see how it does with a full load (myself, wife, two kids 50lbs each, and a big cooler full of food!). Gotta go check out those glaciers before they all melt into oblivion you know! LOL

I did 25 mpg mix driving with my 05 Magentis 2.4L, but that was with a lot of town driving, I have yet to see on a long highway trip. I should be getting about 30 mpg then.

Around 60 miles to the Gallon if I am easy on the gas in my Picanto. With air con on and/or being heavy footed or even passangers in any combination the worst i have got is about 44mpg.

I just checked my gas milage on my new 05 Spectra SX. I got 27.5 mpg mixed driving on the first tank. Much better than the 17 mpg I was getting with the Sorento.
