Also, i keep on forgetting to mention that my stock exhaust manifold has become cracked in the last 2 months. Not a major crack, but visible and you can hear it enough to know it's a crack.</div>

I am not sure.. does Hyundai still have that recall for cracked exhaust manifolds?

If I baby my 2.0L 5spd. I can get over 30 mpg average per tank.

Usually it is between 26 and 28 though.

Tune up sounds like a good place to start, also check your brakes and make sure there is no uneven rotor or pad wear. If one wheel gets significantly more dust on it than the others, that is a hint that the brakes are dragging.</div>

Yeah On all cars, shifts between 2k and 3k rpm is reasonable for economic driving. i get over 34 MPG Highway and 30 City.

gophins:

I'm not the first owner of this car, as I bought it used from a used lot over in bensalem, pa. Would the recall still apply to me? And you said you had it replaced no charge. Does that include labor or just no charge for the parts? Elaborate a bit for me please.

Recall is for any owner. No charge for parts and labor. If they tell you otherwise they are wrong.

I was told that the manifold recall was only applicable if you were under 80K, which would make it fall into the anti-perforation warranty.

I had mine authorized at 115k miles.. unfortunately it would up being a failing flex pipe, so I never actually had it done.
