    My 07 Sanfe Fee with the 3.2 engine and 5 speed auto seems to be
    lugging when climbing hills at 60 km in town. Is this normal? Is this
    a means to increase mileage or can damage occur from this setup.

    All the Hyundais I have owned have had quite tall
    gearing that allows very relaxed ( ie low rpm) touring
    with great fuel economy. (my 2003 V6 Sonata - 7.8 l/100km) . Trade off I
    suppose is less acceleration but with 5 gears I thought that would be
    minimal. Gear change points ok?.
