That is why I wish I had a 5 speed. :(

I sold my 1994 Hyundai Excel that was a 5 speed, which got around 45mpg, and I regret that I no longer have it.

My Lanos is getting somewhere in the low 30s, but I still love it!! :)

45 mpg on a Lanos?!?!??!?!?!

I travel only on highway, with light mods like intake/exhaust. The best I've gotten was 35mpg... keep in mind that's all highway miles. It's also 5spd sport edition.

Gas Milage

I'm getting about 25-30 on my automatic lanos but I'm driving with A/C most of the time during the summer months. I also installed a better air intake filter which improved. Is there anyway to improve even more?
