I've got a brand new Hyundai Elantra and have so far been disappointed in the MPG despite going to great lengths to maximize mileage (however I note that my results are right at the median for my particular model on Fuelly). Nonetheless I'm unhappy, especially with the hwy mileage which is not coming close to what I expected. Question: Can I expect better results after 4-5K miles on the odometer? Do modern engines/tranmissions "loosen up"?
