Aw crap, it's SO pretty except for that crap on the front...

And 36.5mpg is hardly surprising, that is a beautifully long 6th gear to be barely above 2200 rpm at 75. I'd say that's actually pretty crappy for that sort of gearing if it's a 2L, probably because of the turbo. I think Hyundai is using 8 speed auto on this? Toyota could use a lesson in maximizing fuel economy with good gear ratios.
