Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2008 KIA RONDO LX (V6) WHICH HAS AROUND 6300MILES. I AM THE FIRST OWNER AND DROVE IT FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS. EVEN EPA FUEL ECONOMY ESTIMATES ARE 18 MPG (CITY : 14 TO 22 MPG) AND 26 MPG (HIGHWAY: 21 TO 31 MPG) AT THE WINDOW STICKER, THEY WERE NOT REALISTIC. I DO NOT COMPLAIN ON CITY MPG AND IT IS 19-20 MPG IN AVERAGE BUT IN HIGHWAY MPG, IT WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING. I HAD SEVERAL TRAVELS WHICH TAKE 2 HOURS AT THE SPEED OF 65-70 MPG. EVERY TIME, IT WAS 21-22 MPG IN AVERAGE. THE BEST ONE WITH 65 MPH USING CRUISE CONTROL WAS 23.2MPG. I HAVE NEVER HAD 31 MPG AT ALL AS WELL AS HIGHWAY AVERAGE MPG OF 26. SO I THINK THAT KIA A LOT OVERSTATED THE HIGHWAY MPG. *TR
