i wonder how u guys get 800km per tank for santa fe... i'm only getting 650km max out per tank for highway (maybe because i cruise at around 140-150km/h?) but even if i maintain 110km/h really can gain that extra 150km?!

I was hitting back and forth between 140 to 180 sometimes. Not all the way smooth traffic and constant speed. In fact heavy traffic in December last year from KL to Singapore. I managed to hit the same as you per tank at 12.5 km/L. That's on full load i.e. 5 adults, 2 kids with luggage. I'm pretty sure if you hit constant 110km/hr, 800km per tank is achievable.

The other Sunday night on LDP from Kelana Jaya to Damansara, sticking to 100km/hr on 6th gear constantly with my family onboard, I manage to get hit 6.4L/100km (15.6 km/L).
For the kind of size and weight SUV, a hybrid engine will only run out of breath.

Turbo diesel is the only economically sound solution for moving big SUVs efficiently.

oh.. 12.5km/L seems forgiving then for not driving slowly smile.gif and we're on 6 adult. the 3rd row is good for 1 adult sleeping but sitting straight tall person will feel insufficient headroom and thigh support.
