Hyundai Sonata Fuel Economy Test
Hyundai Sonata We’re going to do a fuel economy test to see how well the Hyundai Sonata performs. As you can see right now, we have a full tank of fuel. You’ll also notice our trip meter on the screen, which currently reads zero. We’ll be driving this car over the week to see how many kilometers we complete. After that, we’ll head to the gas station to see how much it costs to fill up, so stay tuned.
One Week of Driving
We just spent the week testing the Hyundai Sonata and have some numbers to share with you. As you can see, we’ve driven a total of 347 km (or 216 miles). We didn’t have the air conditioning or heating on at all, but we did have the sound system on the whole time. It’s also worth noting that about 60% of our driving was in the city and 40% on the highway—just to give you context for these numbers.
Filling Up and Fuel Cost
You’ll notice we’re at the fuel station, and we’re going to fill it back up. Based on that, we’ll do some calculations to see how well it performed. As you can see, we spent $44 to fill up 28 L of fuel at a fuel cost of $1.54 per liter in Detroit. At a fuel cost of $3 per gallon in the US, this works out to $22.20 for 7.4 gallons of fuel. Also worth noting is that the Sonata’s fuel tank capacity is 60 L (or 15.9 gallons).
Calculating Distance per Liter
First, let’s calculate our distance per liter. We do that by taking the distance driven and dividing it by the number of liters filled up:
- 347 km ÷ 28 L = 12.4 km per liter (or 29 miles per gallon).
This means every liter of fuel gives us 12.4 km of driving, every gallon of fuel gives us 29 miles, and every 8 L of fuel gives us 100 km of driving.
Real-World Driving Range
Next, let’s calculate the real-world driving range. We multiply the 12.4 km per liter by the fuel tank capacity of 60 L:
- 12.4 km/L × 60 L = 744 km (or 462 miles).
This means on a full tank, you can expect approximately 744 km of driving.
Cost Per Kilometer and Mile
Now let’s calculate the cost per kilometer:
- $44 ÷ 347 km = 12.6 cents per kilometer.
For cost per mile:
- $22 ÷ 216 miles = 10 cents per mile.
Full Tank Costs in Canada and the USA
Finally, let’s calculate the cost of a full tank:
- Toronto, Canada: $1.54 per liter × 60 L = $92.40 CAD.
- Detroit, USA: $3 per gallon × 15.9 gallons = $47.70 USD.
So, a full tank of fuel would cost $92.40 in Toronto or $47.70 in Detroit.
