Hyundai Getz Holland/Europe petrol consumption

[Mario Pullen]

My Hyundai Getz 1.3 (Holland/Europe) uses a lot of petrol (in average 1 ltr. to 10 km). According to the manufacturer's manual this should be (in average) 1 ltr. to 17 km. Does anyone have the same experience? And does anyone know what the problem is (and the solution)?

Tia,

Yes,
I have the same problem. Even when I drive only on the highway in 5th gear 100 to 110 km/h de Getz will use 1 to 9.5. Meanwhile I read some Belgium tests in a car magazine. There also used 1 to 10 during the test. I'm very pist off by that, Hyundai says 1 to 16 average. Next week my car is been checkt by the dealer, but i thing the problem is, that Hyundai tells lies. I'm thinking about giving my car back ore starting a big media hype about this, because 1 to 9 instead of 1 to 16 its not a marge but in my opinion its pure swindle.

Are you serious, it should give much more than 12.5km/l . It is way too low. Are you mentioning this with AC or without AC?
