Hyundai wrapped up a 2,300-mile trip between San Diego and Jekyll Island, Georgia this week and is more than happy to announce that the Sonata Hybrid made the journey on just two tanks of gas–and not even full tanks: there was about 2.5 gallons leftover at the end.
Of course, Hyundai had the help of hypermiling guru Wayne Gerdes, so don’t expect to just take off for the coast and make it with one pit stop–you’ll undoubtedly get more modest mileage. But, with his own expertise and the Sonata’s lithium-polymer-powered parallel hybrid powertrain, Gerdes averaged 60 mpg and made his only stop about 1,200 miles in.
