Can someone explain why the 2011 Hyundai Elantra engine receives 20HP less than the forte? yet receives identical mileage? I thought Hyundai was the "premium" brand..
MINIMAL IMPROVEMENT IN FUEL ECONOMY
All Elantra models, including the Blue, the GLS, the SE, and the Touring (that’s the station wagon) are powered by the same 2.0–liter, 4-cylinder motor that puts out 138 horsepower and 136 ft-lbs of torque. The Blue model, which only comes with a 5-speed manual transmission, is rated at 26 city, and 35 highway miles per gallon. With the automatic on the GLS and SE models, the city rating is the same, but the highway mileage is 1 mpg less at 34. See what I mean about that Blue designation?
