FWIW I test drove a Genesis coupe this summer and did not like it at all. I was quite disappointed since I had high hopes for the car. |
We all develop different driving styles. I agee that going easy is going to get greater fuel milage and be less wearing on mechanical systems. I never would expect to hit epa ratings in my stlye of driving. Getting up to speed too fast and depending on your brakes to slow you at the last possible moment are the two largest wasters of fuel. Plus excess idiling and high speed.
Without actually knowing I assume the genesis coupe is a hyundia varient. If so I have not seen one yet.
I was never able to comprehend why the epa figures on diesels where less than the average driver got for a period of time.
