    Yes, those annoyances remain, but nothing much can be done about them so
    I don't spend much time thinking about them. I did drive my truck to
    work today as temps near 100 were forecast (and were realized!) with
    fairly high humidity. I didn't make it too work in the truck with the
    fan on low before I had to turn the temp up. That isn't a problem in
    the Sonata. I leave it on full cold and at least the second fan speed
    all the time when the temps are above 80. Looks like another scorcher
    tomorrow so I'll drive the truck again. I hate getting 16 MPG rather
    than 29, but I like being cool!

    Yes, the mileage has been decent, but remember I have the 4 cylinder/5
    speed so it certainly isn't outstanding. The only real disappointment
    was that the one trip I took in the car didn't really increase the
    mileage much at all. I got 32 on one tank and 31 on the other, which is
    only slightly above what it averages commuting to work each day.

    Yes, I agree! I've visited many places in the USA and the world, and
    found few that I think compare. I like southern Vermont and northern NH
    and parts of Colorado, and would proably like Austria, Switzerland and
    northern Italy (but I haven't been to any of them yet), but I still like
    PA as good as anywhere I've been.

    I do like it better though when it isn't 100 out...

    I too have the 4 cylinder with 8k and just drove from Pittsburgh to
    Clifton Park, NY (511 miles). The trip computer read 35.7 miles avg. I
    was excited, but when I filled up, almost 32. Not even close. Up until
    then, the computer has been accurate. I have been topping off when
    refilling so I can have a consistent reference point when checking.

    I don't have a trip computer so my mileage figures are all calculated
    from my fill-ups. I also fill up every time I buy gas and I keep a
    running MPG.
