    Just wanted to confirm my car's remaining gas amount vs gas light

    Hello again everybody. I just wanted to confirm that everybody's Genesis behaves the same way as mine. I have a 2012 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R-Spec and when the gas light comes on, I manage to put in about 60 liters of gas. I heard this car can hold 75 liters. Is it normal for modern cars to hold...

    Gas door froze shut. I almost ran out of gas.

    Latest surprise on my new Genesis. I was low on gas today (Thanksgiving). No problem, gas station up ahead. Problem: Fuel door doesn't open. It's frozen shut! I scrape off all the ice in the cracks. I have nothing to pry it with. Ice scraper no good. Credit car no good. I don't have...

    Gas pedal stops responding

    I just got my '11 Genesis V6 back from the body shop after getting a new rear bumper cover installed from a minor rear ender. While driving the car the gas pedal suddenly stopped responding and the car lost speed. Everything else in the car kept working...steering, brakes, electronics, but the...

    Gas tank thinks it is full prematurely

    Super annoying. When I'm filling the car with gas (I have the 5.0 so that's often) the gas stops flowing before the tank is full about 10 times per fill up. Not sure why it keeps thinking it is full when clearly it isn't.

    Average Gas Mileage with AWD

    I've seen a few dislikes and complaints about gas mileage, but I feel like I'm getting rather good gas mileage for a 4,295 lb. car. My Genesis is just a bit over 1,000 miles and I'm averaging right at 22 mpg and got 29 mpg on a road trip to the mountains last weekend. That is with this my...

    Gas pedal has a click when you floor it

    Is this normal, do they have some kind of button at the end of the pedal? There's definitely a notch or something that it hits before you can floor it. Just wondering if everyone has this or I need to have it checked..

    Discount gas

    F.Y.I. For you folks in the South East US, PUBLIX has a $50 gas card on sale for $40 this weekend. Sale runs 5/1 through 5/4. You'll have to go online to publix.com and view the Weekly Ad to print the coupon that you need. It's a bit of a PITA, but worth the 20% discount IMO.

    gas mileage

    I just got a pre-owned 2011 4.6 Genesis a few weeks ago. Given I got the V8, I realized gas mileage wasn't going to be the best, but the last few weeks I am averaging 19mpg. I do about half the driving on the highway, and half around town. Is this about what I can expect?

    Hyundai fouls up gas milage estimates again

    Uhboy! The new Sonata gets worse mpg than the old one. "The company said Monday it overstated the gas mileage of its revamped Sonata sedan in publicity material recently distributed to reporters in its home country of South Korea, the Associated Press reports. That would make a 6% improvement...

    Topping off Gas Tank

    So I have searched the archives, and seen some reference to maybe the gas tank has some extra capacity that can be filled if one does so very slowly. In my experience this seems to be correct. Extra fuel is always welcome. On the other hand, the Genesis is the worst car I have ever had when it...

    Gas cap door was pried open

    Well, maybe. My car lives at the airport as I travel constantly. It's a 2013 R-spec sedan with 2200mi on it. I just got back from a 7 day trip to see that my gas door is wide open. I have never left it open before, but figured maybe I hit the button when i opened the trunk. I did not see any...

    Record Gas Tank Refill

    This is a record for me in the Genesis. 20.5 gallons. Not too shabby for a 19.3 gallon tank.

    Do you smell gas?

    Well, the other day when the temps were nudging 117, I fueled up early in the morning when the temperature was about 100. I never top off unless I am taking a long trip, so there was some breathing room in the tank after I was done. I did a few chores and put probably 40 miles on the car after...

    New Genesis - Gas Pedal Sticking?

    Hi folks, I just picked up my new 2013 3.8 Premium. So far, I LOVE this car. It's a huge upgrade from my 2007 Elantra base model SE :) My colleagues, customers, and family have all be really impressed with it too. One thing I have noticed, however, is that when I floor the gas pedal it kind of...

    Engine break in perioed and gas mileage

    My coupe has right at 21,000 miles on it now. I'd noticed the last couple of months the driving back and forth to work/around town mpg had gotten up to around 23/24 from 21/22 since I got it. I'd been wanting to get it out on the road but also wanted to wait on the weather at home to get...
