Getz 1.4 Manual is very good in highway cruise. Frequently cruising at 90-110km/h is recommended. Any higher than this can lead to increased FC.

Below is the lowest FC I ever got. Now under normal driving and traffic condition I faced daily, the FC was 6.3l/100km.

Older Hyundai Getz do not have Variable Valve Timing (VVT) technology, hence it got high FC.

Now with VVT, Getz 1.4 is really a worthy investment.

This car also comfortly climbing hill with full load, as I've tested with five persons and full luggages at rear bonnet during trips from KB to Penang via Grik-Jeli road, due to the high torque churned by the engine. Negotiating corners at 90km/h is also quite a breeze.

Engine Oil selected: Bardhal 5w30 Full Synthetic
Fuel Filter: Genuine Hyundai Oil Filter, sometimes using BOSCH Oil Filter.

Inokom Getz 1.4 does come with VVT.

What did you told is true for these new version of Accent/Sonata/Elantra/Coupe. CVVT stands for Continuous Variable Valve Timing.

Getz uses Variable Valve Timing.

excerpt here:

There is a new 1.4 litre petrol engine with variable valve timing for enhanced performance and fuel efficiency, and a revised 1.1 litre four-cylinder petrol unit. The entry level engine produces 67 PS (66bhp) and remains exceptionally frugal, returning 51.4mpg in official Combined Cycle driving, while having been revised to meet Euro IV emissions standards. The intelligent four-speed automatic transmission has been developed specifically for the Getz.
