FUELCONSOMPTIONPAMPLET

When I bought my car I had looked at that pamplet at the dealer. It stats that the magentis 4 cyl does 26 city/39 highway (mpg) and the 6 cyl 24 city/36 highway (mpg). Same as on Kia.ca under magentis specs. But on Kia.com website it says only 22 city/30 highway (mpg) for the 4 cyl and 20 city/27 highway (mpg) for the 6 cyl.

Are US gallons not the same as Canadian gallons?

 

[Spec SX]

I think that they are different. Those numbers are pretty far apart for the US gallon to be the same as Canadian gallon.

free health care AND better gas milage. im movin. :haha:

now that would explain why I thought my car was so hard on gaz! because I would calculate in US gallons when I was supposed to calculate in Imp. gallons. So I average 32 mpg mix driving, that's pretty good.... better then the 27 US mpg that I previously thought my car was doing.

 

[Spec SX]

ya thats much better gas milage than you thought you were getting. My wife is getting about 26 mpg right now with the Optima but thats pretty much all city driving.

yeah.. I'm still averaging aroun 17MPG in mine.. it SUX!

 

[MAD]

Yeah that SUX for sure, there has to be something wrong with the car, did you mention that to your dealer?

 

[ahfrederick]

Bought it used.

 

[MAD]

You didnt find a dealer to deal with yet for warranty and maintnance?

 

[ahfrederick]

Yeah, but I still have to pay out of pocket for anyone to look at my car. Which is wierd..
