The remarkable Hyundai Sonata algorithm...

Been traveling back and forth between Tampa and Atlanta, twenty three years. The journey's always been 500 miles. For the first time, gassed up the 400+ mile gas tank of the 2011. Six cylinders have duel tail pipes. Exited Bearss avenue off the 275, 75 connector with 100+ miles in the tank. That's never happened before.

Oversized tires? I don't know, but I took the savings. That's the first time in five cars.

Hyundai's got a lot of companies beat. Starting with recycled garbage in the eighties, the name plastered on the sides of railway cars did not benefit from BMW marketing. Thirty years ago, there was no bragging about car seats made from recycled plastic.

Hats off Hyundai; my whole family can fit, XM's radio's a plus. And with the windows closed, 80 miles an hour feels like nothing.
