Comments for Hyundai i30 Pwns Prius in Low-Emissions Race at http://www.ecogeek.org , comment 1 to 8 out of 8 comments http://www.ecogeek.org Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:54:39 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/1240#comment-9351 Dear KPL, I agree it would be much much simpler, but if you take a minute to see what the numbers would have looked like for some big SUV etc, (IE the result would start with a decimal point) you quickly see it had to be litres per 100km, unfortunately' - yowiee Mon, 28 Jan 2008 21:46:23 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/1240#comment-8435 Why can’t they record the mileage in kilometer per liter KPL? 31 KPL. Is this better than the Honda insight? This comes with a little less embarrassment when driving. - corny Fri, 28 Dec 2007 13:00:34 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/1240#comment-8361 Can't they use a catalytic converter now that we've pulled sulfur from our diesel fuel? Also, I thought they had particulate filters? Oh well, I guess we'll just have to wait until we get to use Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition.

Particulates could even "offset" carbon-dioxide reductions. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2002/10/021022071123.htm - Dennis Sun, 23 Dec 2007 16:23:06 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/1240#comment-8308 So, per the wiki entry for the i30, look for this vehicle coming to the US market in the first part of 2008 as a 2009 model badged as an Elantra Touring. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_i30[/url]. That's some good mileage! Almost worth the new car premium to get that kind of mileage! I just hope they actually let us yanks have the turbodiesel - tchamp Fri, 21 Dec 2007 22:02:04 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/1240#comment-8307 @Lee, your math is the Prius. The Hyundai would be 3.2 liters, which is 0.85 gallons. So 62 miles / 0.85 gallons = 72.9 MPG. Which is almost twice the Prius'. - Adam Fri, 21 Dec 2007 21:15:55 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/1240#comment-8305 I did the same math and got a different answer. 5.6 liters = 1.48 gallons, 100 km = 62 miles, ergo 62miles/1.48 gallons = 41.9 mpg. Not bad milage, but nothing super spectacular. - Lee Fri, 21 Dec 2007 19:15:04 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/1240#comment-8304 Could you give us Americans some love and throw in a MPG rating? Please? If I did my math right the Hyundai gets 69.8 MPG. - stands2reason Fri, 21 Dec 2007 18:47:14 +0100
