This cracks me up.

There is a HUGE sticker on the side of the car that shows you exactly what you're going to get from a fuel consumption standpoint.

These people are either illiterate, dumb, or blind. This is just another example of people always placing the blame on someone else.

Bet you their favorite saying as a kid was "It wasn't me! He did it!"

I have the same opinion as you. Wouldn't this apply to all manufacturers, and not just Hyundai?

I guess some people need to learn to read. Or they need glasses. Right under those big numbers is says, "expected range for most drivers is XX to XX MPG". Guess they also for got to read the second partin big bold letters, " Your actual mileage WILL vary". Notice they didn't say MAY but WILL VARY.
