14 MPG! Might as well be driving my 2005 Trailblazer.
Right in line with the EPA combined though.
The Santa Fe is basically getting the same mpg I get on my AWD CX-9 which I got in 2009 but is essentially a 2006 vehicle. I've never achieved 25 but I also never did as poorly as 14 on a tank. I'm surprised that, with all the fuel economy gains in other segments, 3 row CUVs are doing about the same as they were 5+ years ago. Maybe the new Highlander will raise the bar.
