COMMERCE CITY CO (ColoradoRapids.com) – Colorado Rapids fans can vote for their favorite Rapids players to help make up the 11 players they would like to see take on English Premier League side West Ham United in the 2008 Pepsi MLS All-Star Game.
Official online balloting is now open until July 2nd giving fans the chance to send their favorite Rapids players to be a part of the MLS All-Star First XI in this year's game.
The 13th annual MLS midsummer showcase will bring together the best MLS players for a marquee match-up on Thursday July 24 2008 at 5:00pm MT versus West Ham at BMO Field in Toronto.
Fans can vote for their favorite Rapids players for the All-Star First XI online by clicking here.
Fans can select up to one Rapids goalkeeper three Rapids defenders five Rapids midfielders and two Rapids forwards. Fans can vote up to 10 times per day.
By voting online fans will also be automatically entered in the MLSnet.com All-Star Sweepstakes for a chance to win one autographed 2008 MLS All-Star adidas match ball or one of two 2008 MLS All-Star autographed adidas jerseys!
A four-tier voting system will determine the First 11 players selected for the 2008 Pepsi MLS All-Star Game against West Ham United. The online fan balloting program will comprise 25 percent of the total vote with coaches and general managers (25%) players (25%) and media (25%) combining for the remaining 75% percent of the vote.
The total vote will honor the MLS First 11 regardless of whether or not those players start on July 24. Each MLS team nominated twelve (12) players for the ballot at the start of the season.

This year marks the fifth time that MLS All-Stars have taken on a high-profile international opponent in the midsummer MLS All-Star game. In 2003 the MLS All-Stars defeated Mexican club Chivas of Guadalajara 3-1 and in 2005 they stormed English opponents Fulham 4-1. In 2006 the MLS All-Stars took on English powerhouse Chelsea FC and defeated the West London club 1-0 on a goal from Houston Dynamo's Dwayne De Rosario. Last year the MLS All-Stars defeated Glasgow Celtic FC 2-0 at the home of the Rapids Dick's Sporting Goods Park in front of a record crowd in one of the most successful MLS All-Star Games in history.
The format of the Sierra Mist All-Star game makes it the most competitive all-star game in American professional sports.
Take time to vote for your Rapids players to make the 2008 MLS All-Star Team and send our boys to Toronto to represent MLS against another of the world's most storied clubs!

Lindsay Lohan caught a flight from L.A. to N.Y. last night ... but despite her financial issues, she's still above flying with the commoners.
Lohan -- along with her brother Michael Lohan Jr. -- each got their own comfy seats on a private jet.
Sources close to Lohan tell us LiLo is headed back east to take a few "movie meetings."
So far, it's unclear if Lindsay paid for the flight herself.

Can anybody advise me on what sort of strength wind I can expect in Brazil (Fortaleza / Jericoacoara area) at the end of June and beginning of July. I've been told it's the start of the windy season by a travel rep, but would like to get some unbiased first hand advice from somebody who has been there at that time. I'm a heavy guy, 115kg/18st so I need pretty strong wind (minimum18knts)
Also can anyone recommend any luxury 5 star hotels in that area to keep the non kiting wife happy?
Many thanks

This week in Island history
The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the Jamestown Press. The news of 25, 50, 75 and 100 years ago from the Newport Daily News comes from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
100 years ago From the Newport Daily News, September 5, 1905:
A Fall River man has been in town recently looking for a site on the shore for a working girls' boarding house, to be run in a similar manner to that of the Sea Side Cottage at Conanicut Park, which is conducted by the Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
From the Newport Daily News, September 6, 1905:
The town council met yesterday afternoon as the board of canvassers, to make up the voting list for the November election.
From the Newport Daily News, September 11, 1905:
There was considerable excitement Saturday night when the 11 o'clock launch landed here. The steps leading up to the wharf gave way, throwing three women and two men, who were on them, into the water. All were quickly pulled out by the more fortunate ones on the wharf and launch.
75 years ago From the Newport Daily News, September 5, 1930:
The miniature golf course on Narragansett Avenue, owned by Ferdinand Armbrust, is proving one of the most interesting outdoor sports. The course was completed during the past week and each afternoon and evening a large number of players are seen on the links. The course is lighted by electricity affording the opportunity to those unable to play during the day to enjoy the game at night. Clifford Wright, Jr., is in charge of the course during the day, and acting as "pro," is instructing those who are novices at the game. A small clubhouse has been erected at the entrance of the links, which players may use during a rainstorm and it is also protection from the heat of the sun. A number of tournaments are scheduled for the near future.
50 years ago From the Newport Daily News, September 3, 1955:
Jamestown's Carr School on Southwest Avenue closed its doors officially as a place of learning Thursday when the School Committee turned over the building to the Town Council. Built in 1897, the two-story frame structure is 58 years old. At that time it had four rooms. Two more were added in 1913, which was considered adequate for nine grades. In 1923 the Thomas H. Clarke School on North Road was built and grades 4 through 8 were housed there in this building. . . . More than a year ago ground was broken for a one-story 17 room elementary school to cost $360,000 and here, when school opens on Sept. 19, all grades from kindergarten through grade nine will attend classes.
From the Newport Daily News, September 6, 1955:
Approximately $1,500 was realized from the sale of 17 parcels of land in Jamestown on which taxes had not been paid for at least three years. The sale was held at the Town Hall on Saturday. Thirty-nine parcels of land were bought by the town. It was the first Jamestown tax sale since 1949.
From the Newport Daily News, September 7, 1955:
Fort Burnside, the scenic Beavertail section at the south end of Conanicut Island, was closed today by the Department of the Navy. The area was open during July and August for picnickers, fishermen and tourists. More than 5,700 cars and 22,000 people visited there during this time.
25 years ago From the Newport Daily News, September 6, 1980:
Sailing and tennis awards were presented at Conanicut Yacht Club during the annual awards night Labor Day. The High Heels trophy for sailing, donated by late Rear Adm. and Mrs. Ralph C. Alexander for the best record of any skipper in first or second year of organized competition, was won by Hannah Swett.
From the Newport Daily News, September 9, 1980:
Complaints about stereos and amplified live loud music has spurred the Town Council to look into the possibility of adopting a noise ordinance. . . . (Town Administrator) Sutton said the Navy had reclaimed four "camels" (timber floats) and shipped them back to Groton. The Navy promised not to set camels loose in Narragansett Bay. The federal government told Sutton that Jamestown was not selected as a site for the desalinization plant, but there are still two more plants to be built.
From the Newport Daily News, September 10, 1980:
A year round bakery is scheduled to open Oct. 1 at East Ferry in the shop now occupied by Merle's Ice Cream Place.
The executive committee for the Coalition for Concerned Citizens for the Alternate Jamestown Bridge met recently. . . . The coalition changed its name to Save Our Watershed (SOW).
15 years ago From the Jamestown Press, September 7, 1990:
Jamestowners recycled 18.44 tons of material during the first week of the town's recycling program, officials said. That was an average of 17 pounds per household, far above the state average of 10 pounds per household.
A federal audit released by the Transportation's Department of Office of the Inspector General accuses state and local officials of mismanaging the Jamestown bridge project, and that the federal government should ask for an $8 million dollar refund for work it paid for.
More than 200 Jamestown residents last weekend signed a petition expressing their opposition to the latest proposed plan for the cross-island connector road.
Jamestown students attending North Kingstown High School received an extended summer vacation when the school system's teachers voted to strike Wednesday.
10 years ago From the Jamestown Press, September 8, 1995:
With about 54 days of water left in the North Pond reservoir, Town Administrator Frances Shocket intends to ask the Town Council next week if it wants to begin buying off-island water.
Several major changes may be made in the town's Zoning Ordinance following a public hearing scheduled to be held next month. State law requires the town to amend its zoning ordinance so that it conforms with the town's state-mandated comprehensive plan within 18 months of that plan's approval. Since the state approved Jamestown's plan on May 18, 1994, the zoning laws must be amended by Nov. 18, 1995.

NASCAR on Wednesday hit Truck Series points leader Johnny Sauter with one of the series' harshest penalties after it found an altered fuel cell on his No. 98 Toyota last week at Kansas Speedway.
Joe Shear, crew chief for Sauter's team, has been suspended for the next four races and fined $10,000. In addition, Sauter - who won the series' first two races of the season - was stripped of 25 points.
Sauter, who was the points leader following last Saturday's race at Kansas, is now tied for second with Jeb Burton. Both drivers are 13 points behind new leader, Matt Crafton. Crafton is Sauter's teammate at ThorSport Racing. The No. 98 team was also docked 25 owner points.

I live in northern California, near Stanford University, which is where I work.
I started bringing bentos to work about a year and a half ago. I was drawn to the money-saving aspect, but I was mostly interested in packing healthy, tasty, well-balanced, vegetarian meals for myself.
After being a devout vegetarian for fifteen years, I have recently begun eating some fish again. Still, over 95% of my lunches are completely vegetarian, and a good number of them are vegan.
What else ... Acting, singing and dancing were once my career, but now they are my passionate hobbies outside of work. I ride my bike to and from work every day. I love houseplants and I sleep with an elephant named Eddie.
I've identified a couple of the other vegetarians in the forum - anyone else out there?
Stands in veggie corner. No meat, fish or poultry, but I do have free range, organic eggs.
Veggie here as well, though wish I had 10yrs under my belt. :( I do have milk products and eggs, but am working on fresh local eggs from grandma's farm and local milk produced in the area. Might I just say that raw milk is wonderful if you have ever had that!
I've been a veg for about 15 years too, with a few bouts of *eating fish* periods (like now). I even tried going vegan once, but only made it four days before I gave up. SO much work! I have boatloads of respect for successful vegans!:)
Oh I forgot to mention I've been veggie for 25 years.....Oh, I feel old!
Thanks to everyone for replying!
As for me, yes, there's occasional fish and cheese. I can't stand milk. I can barely tolerate it in tea. And I somewhat (though not enough to change) regret that I've lifted the restrictions on eggs, but I do aim for a happier hen when I can afford it.
We are in the same neighborhood, the hubs works at Stanford as well! I have been a vegetarian ( for a good portion of my life [on and off since since middle school, but mostly on, so about 10 years]. Within the last year I cut out milk products, which makes me feel so much better. I have never really liked milk so it was not that big of a loss.
Cool! I won't be nosy by asking where. ^_^
This is such a great place to live. We have the world at our fingertips! And Daiso right down the street!
Well it's not a secret, he works in Alumni/Post-Grads off campus :)
Unfortunately, we do not live all that close to either of our jobs. We live in the East Bay and I commute to SF. We will probably be moving to the Peninsula this summer, to buy a place. But both of us really like the Bay Area, we both grew up here and would like to stay put until retirement.

Since I was incorrect with my 16m assessment of the V2 (that I did by putting it next to a 16m Cab), I kept thinking about what size it was. The struts stood up about 6 inches taller cordwise than the cab, so that would make it larger, and then I considered that on the V2, the struts have a 20 to 30 degree (just a guess) "elbow" bending down about 10 inches from the leading edge. This would mean the sail would have more camber which would also add size. That lead me to say think OK, maybe 17m. Then I took a look at a Fat Lady and realized it was a 17m and the struts looked like the same style. Could it be that these kites are very similar? I was just surprised that I did not notice this before as I was reading up on both kites. I guess that is just one of the things you don't really notice until you get your hands on the kite.
By the way, this is in no way a complaint. I bought a V2 and should be getting it any day now, and finding similarities with the other kite I was seriously considering is not a bad thing in my book. I just had to keep pondering the "Infinity" situation.

Skip to Main Navigation. Each navigation link will open a list of sub navigation links.
Students should exhaust all Federal student loan eligibility before considering private loans. Private student loans are not subsidized and not guaranteed by the federal government. Private loans are based on the applicant's credit worthiness determined by the lender and may cost more than federal loans. Amounts are limited to the cost of attendance minus any other aid that the applicant is receiving.
If a private loan is your last or only option, we recommend that you choose a lender with whom you are most comfortable. Students at the University of Wyoming have been accessing private education loans for several years. The lenders listed in the link below are those that have provided funding to our students in the past and continue to offer private education loans. This list is not a preferred lender list and we will work with any lender that you choose after comparing rates, terms and other criteria before you apply.
As of February, 14th, 2010, the implementation of Regulation Z requirements requires a bank/lender to provide several disclosures and a Self Certification for the borrower before a private loan will be disbursed. This will slow down the approval and disbursement of all private student loans. PLEASE FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE LENDER AND RESPOND IN A TIMELY WAY SO YOUR LOAN CAN BE PROCESSED AS QUICKLY AS REGULATIONS ALLOW. Private loans will take a minimum of 3 weeks from the start of your application to the disbursement. Your bank/lender will give you a Self Certification Form, but we have supplied one in case you need it. The student is responsible to complete this form and return it to the bank/lender.

DPS Commissioner says dishonesty, immoral behavior led to personnel changes
"Dishonesty, immoral behavior and alleged criminal conduct" is the basis of changes in personnel within the Department of Public Safety, says Commissioner Tuaolo Manaia Fruean.
In a memorandum issued on July 9, 2012 which was effective the next day, Commissioner Tuaolo said that it has come to his attention that an incident occurred within the DPS daily operations that needs to be corrected and upgraded in proper measure to minimize problems, especially with regard to "Line Function Duties".
"I've been witnessing dishonesty in job performances, immoral behavior and allegedly criminal conduct in which some employees are allegedly involved.
"I've also noticed a need for improvement in certain areas of the department."
Tuaolo said given the urgency for the betterment of the department, Lt McClusky Fa'agata, a watch commander of the Tafuna West Substation is to be relieved from his duties and report to Commander Lumana'i Maifea for his new assignment at the Tafuna Correctional Facility.
Sergeant Vaina Vaofanua a long time detective with the Criminal Investigation Division is now assigned to the Tafuna West Substation. Sgt Vaofanua is to report to Captain Fo'ifua Fo'ifua for his new assignment.
Police officer Vasa Wells with the Patrol Division of the Tafuna West Substation is now assigned to the Criminal Investigation Division. She's to report to Commander Lavata'i Ta'ase Sagapolutele.
Samoa News inquired if the change of personnel had anything to do with the break- in at Bank of Hawai'i and Pizza Hut last week.
DPS spokesperson Deputy Commissioner Leiseau Laumoli told Samoa News that one of the reasons that Lt Fa'agata has been re-assigned was his bad judgment call at the time of the incident. Laumoli explained that an internal investigation is being carried out within DPS at this time.
He said the call from Bank of Hawai'i about the break in was received by Lt Fa'agata who made the call that police officers from Central Station should respond to the call.
The Deputy Commissioner said, it's puzzling as to why Lt Fa'agata wanted the central police officers to respond and yet the Bank of Hawai'i was near the West Substation.
Laumoli said Lt Fa'agata failed in carrying out "Line Function Duties".
He said any police officer should stay alert 24hrs a day, seven days a week, while on duty, given they are there to protect and to serve members of the public.
"If the police officers at the West Substation responded at the time of the call, the culprit(s) would have been caught in action. However, he said, Lt. Fa'agata made an erroneous judgment call.
"Watch Commanders should be alert while on duty to make their decisions wisely, because there are circumstances that come from wrong decision making.
The Deputy Commissioner told Samoa News the Watch Commanders are the heart of the Department of Public Safety and they play a huge role in the daily operations of DPS.
Laumoli then declined to further comment on the matter and said if Lt Fa'agata does not take his profession seriously then he should be replaced by someone who is keen on carrying out the duties of a Watch Commander.
Samoa News contacted Lt Fa'agata at the Tafuna Correctional Facility for comments, however the female correction officer on duty said, since the reassignment of Lt Fa'agata to TCF, the Lieutenant has yet to turn up for work.

I didn't watch the debate last night. I was at the pub with my derby gang after training, which was a much better way to spend an evening.
So, this morning I thought I'd check the MSM for information about the debate. You know, what Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott said, whether they announced any policies, and how their claims stacked up when they were fact checked.
I wanted some news.
Shush, I can hear your laughter from here.
This is the debate coverage across the top of smh.com.au this morning:
There's an opinion piece by Peter Hartcher about who won – based on style, rather than substance – and 861 words by Judith Ireland (with AAP) about Kevin Rudd using notes during the debate and whether that makes him a cheater, and a video of the same news story. To put the 861 words about a simple "yes he had notes, no they weren't allowed" into perspective, this whole post about the coverage on two websites is 476 words.
Hartcher's piece mentioned that both Rudd and Abbott "ducked the question on building Sydney's second airport", so after reading the smh.com.au coverage I know about one question from an hour-long debate between the Prime Minister and Opposition Leader.
Righty-o then.
At dailytelegraph.com.au, there was one story at the top of the website this morning:
But it was replaced a short time later by this:
I guess they didn't want smh.com.au to be the only ones shouting CHEATING CHEATERER.
The story is by Patrick Lion and it's from the News Limited Network so it'll be the same story on every website: Election debate: Kevin Rudd accused of cheating after using notes during debate. It's 496 words about the notes, and not a single mention of any of the topics that were discussed. So, after reading the dailytelegraph.com.au coverage I don't know anything about the questions in an hour-long debate between the Prime Minister and Opposition Leader.
Don't get me wrong – the notes story is a story. But it's not the story because it's not really important. Having notes at a debate has fuck-all to do with helping people to decide which party's plan for the future is the one they want to support. Because that's the whole damn point of the debate.
But the notes story is an easy one to write. It's a lot easier than reporting what Rudd and Abbott said and doing some research into their policy ideas and fact-checking their claims and finding a clever way to include all of this info in the same story so it's actually useful to your audience.
PS – If you want to know about the content of the debate, abc.com.au has broken it down question by question, and junkee.com's Jess O'Callaghan explains the debate with gifs in a piece that contains more info than Fairfax and News Ltd combined.

Hyundai Elantra Real World MPG 2012
This article echos many of the points that have been put forth in this discussion. Maybe now that they have been stated by a source like Popular Mechanics, they will be given more serious consideration.
I am glad PM emphasized that even though they achieved very good FE marks in their tests, "your mileage may vary." Aint' that the truth.0
dan_b Posts: 8Shouldn't you also know that something is wrong when the mpg is 25.6! The sticker for combined driving is 33, so you guys over at Hyundai should explain why their is a 23% discrepancy between your numbers and Motor Trends. I know that my elentra simply can not get over 23 in town even if there is no traffic and I drive as conservatively as possible, if traffic is bad I am lucky to 19 mpg.0
stevo19 Posts: 1I totally agree kateoo71. I have a 2012 Elantra Limited. 9400 miles. i drive 85% hwy 15% city and i get 31.5 mpg most of the time. today i got 32.2 i was shocked it went up. My sticker says 29 city 40 hwy. So why is it always 31.5 why not 35 or 36 which it should be since i drive mostly hwy. I also thought about a class action suit. I dont want to hear about how im driving it either. i drive slow and staedy. I'm 52. safty is first not how fast i get there.......I DONT LIKE BEING LIED TO!!!! I wish i had my 2010 VW Jetta TDI back.0
A quote from the PM article: "...City results were equally impressive, with each into the mid-30s. Bear in mind that we made no effort to be overly frugal—no drafting, no excessive coasting—and we made a point to keep up with traffic...".
Mid-30MPG in city driving. That is amazing. The simple physics involved in accelerating a 3000 pound vehicle in stop and go traffic coupled with the idle time at intersections? 34-35mpg in city driving is an achievement worthy of a Nobel Peace prize.0
Today's Wall Street Journal has their review of the Mazda 3i Grand Touring sedan (which the reviewer loved). He got caught up in having fun trying to get good fuel economy (which hd did achieve). This part of the article caught my eye: "While the EPA's numbers are useful only for comparison, the difference between real world and test-cycle fuel economy is a source of unending aggrevation for car buyers.... In his book...philosopher Tim Schroeder argues that pleasure...is fundamentally a function of expectation. I note it here only to bolster my far-fetched fuel-economy-as-pleasure argument." I define happiness as Reality minus expectation (H=R-E). All we can control are our expectations. So the higher the expection....0
Their test results appear to support Hyundai's and EPA's figures. But I do wish there was more information on how PM got the two specific cars they tested. I assume they were provided by the manufacturers. If so, and esp. if the manufacturers knew the purpose of this specific test, did PM get "ringers"? That is one reason why I trust Consumer Reports the most for such tests as they actually go out and buy a car off a dealer's lot. CR can't be "ringered". [Detroit used to be notorious for providing ringers in acceleration tests, esp. in the muscle car era.]0
From what I saw in the PM article, their "city driving" was not inner-city-lots-of-stops kind of city driving. To me it seemed more like what I would call "suburban" driving. That is more realistic for low-to-mid-30s mpg. Getting that kind of mpg in true "city" driving with lots of stops/idling is difficult if not impossible in an ICE compact car. A hybrid, sure.0
Yep, the cars PM tested had the special Hamster Boost feature, i.e. dual treadmills with genetically-enhanced hamsters on each, good for an additional 3-5 mpg. You must figure in the cost of the hamster food though, plus eventual hamster replacement. PM might not have done that.
Agreed 100%. And taking that a step further, the PM test's "city driving" was what many consumers consider "highway driving".0
Maybe so. I wouldn't consider it "highway" driving. Their loop test was "highway" driving, although they said they didn't exceed 70. It shows what one can do at that speed though. I have to chuckle a bit when folks post that they go 75+ mph and then don't understand why they aren't hitting the EPA highway estimate.0
Well it's time for another trip to Chicago this week so I'll be at Enterprise Rental Car on Tuesday looking for an Elantra again. My last trip in an Elantra averaged right at 35mpg under less than ideal conditions.
If I get an Elantra again, I'll report the mileage here.0
The 4th tank yielded slightly over 25mpg with about 80% city but towards the end I could see some improvement. I reset the mileage gauge 3/4 of the way through the tank and was getting close to 27 by the computer.
The difference being the tenths were increasing instead of dropping back towards 24 driving the same routes.
After the 4th fill up at sunoco yesterday, while on the highway, I reset the mileage gauge and actually got readings of 38-40. I was in shock because in the past i was getting 28-30. In fact i was getting readings of close to 33 for the day which included 50/50.
Today I had to take a a 100 mile round trip. On the highway I was getting 40mpg with cruise at 60, 38 with cruise at 65 and 36 with cruise at 70.
On the return trip, I reset the the mileage gauge and got 40! It was about 50% highway, 25% country roads, and 25% of stoplights every mile or so.
I use cruise the entire trip. The averages are all computer based as I did not fill up.
I'd say I noticed the mileage increase at about 1200 miles. I don't know if the gas had anything to do with it - I would have to switch back to be sure.0
http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1072602_2012-hyundai-elantra-2012-ford-focus- -sfe-get-40-mpg-real-world-says-popular-mechanics
Popular Mechanics tested the car and got even better then the 40mpg highway and were closer to 50 mpg. Again it is all on how you drive. I have been getting over 40 on the highway and over 30 in the city with the Elantra without an issue. These tests back it up.0
I get that some tests are showing very good gas mileage.
What you're not taking into account is that there MAY BE a flaw in SOME of the vehicles that is preventing owners, regardless of driving habits, from achieving acceptable MPGs. You can show all of the tests you like, but I can tell you right now that we are seeing pervasive complaints about this vehicle (and one other vehicle) that we are not seeing about other models. Even in models that are touted as having similar MPG ratings, that sell a higher volume of product - we aren't seeing near the number of complaints about MPG, even at the same break-in period.
So, if you want to believe that Elantra drivers are way, way more aggressive drivers, by a big majority, than, say, Civic drivers, that's your choice, but it pretty much defies logic and statistical probability.
We also see the same complaint in our consumer vehicle reviews, and there isn't a lot of crossover between those reviewers and forums posters:

rob_hyundai Posts: 5kristie_h,
Any customers that feel there is a defect should visit their dealer to ensure that is not the case. Our quality standards are very high. We stand behind our products. Studies and independent tests show that actual mpg figures are in line with what we advertise. Popular Mechanics is the latest we've seen. The independently-run JD Power APEAL study conducted recently showed that our owners are most satisfied with mpg in the compact segment, above any other competitor. In fact, over 50% of our owners rate fuel economy and driving range as a 9 or 10 on a 10-point scale. That figure is 7% higher than the next highest rated competitor.
Back in December we released a document on Twitter attempting to help explain any discrepancy.
I hope this helps explain some of the concerns and factors that affect fuel economy.
- Rob L, Hyundai Product PR Manager0
I believe one of the main reasons you are seeing pervasive complaints, is due to the publicity this has gotten from Consumer Watchdog and more people who are fuel concious purchasing the vehicle due to it's 40 MPG rating. I know several 2011-2012 Elantra owners that are happy with the MPG on the vehicle and it is falling within the guidelines posted on the Monroney Sticker. If a person who is purchasing the vehicle based on fuel economy only ( which a majority of people who are purchasing the Elantra are,) then they are more likely to complain about the vehicle then someone who was purchasing it for interior or other features. Just by watching the Highways around the country, how many people are actually driving efficiently, when they are averaging 70MPH. Not many. So expect more complaints when people who purchase the vehicle are not driving properly to achieve the 40 MPG that is and has been proven better on the Elantra.0
I definitely agree with you there - if someone's primary reason for purchase is a particular feature, or if it swayed them away from the competition, they are always going to be more conscious of that aspect of performance. I definitely see a lot of satisfaction with the vehicle, even from those who aren't achieving what they think they should MPG-wise, with most or all other aspects of the vehicle.
I didn't purchase my vehicle for MPG, and I barely pay attention to what I get. I needed an AWD vehicle, and I can sure tell you I'd notice if that weren't performing to expectations, even if everything else was great. We see a similar complaint from buyers who were swayed to some Ford vehicles by the My Touch/Sync system that isn't working properly. They have no complaints about other aspects, but that feature is making them sour on the whole vehicle.
If people are achieving WAY below what they expected, and are beyond a break-in period, and are taking steps to maximize fuel efficiency, I would most certainly recommend that they take it to a dealership - repeatedly and persistently if necessary.

If people are achieving WAY below what they expected, ...
But... what was expected?
My advice is and has been, if the FE of a car is significantly lower than the EPA rating on a controlled test (details for which I've posted in these discussions numerous times so will not bore everyone here), under best-case conditions, then it's time to take it into the dealer since a problem with the car is one of the few variables left.0
How would one explain 28-30 highway and 3 weeks later 38-40?
All things being equal except for gas (Giant vs Sunoco) and car odometer 600 vs 1400.
I really hope my mpg issues are over.0
Thanks for posting Rob. We appreciate hearing from the manufacturer.
I was hoping to complete another Elantra mileage report this week but alas, Enterprise gave me a 2011 Toyota Camry LE. I didn't experience any unintended acceleration on the trip, so that's a plus. :surprise:0
I would say all things were NOT equal... even though it might have seemed like it to you. Think about all the variables: was temperature exactly the same? Speed? Stops/use of brake? Wind?
If the new gas was 100% gas vs. E10, that could explain part of it. As could the additional miles on the engine.
But at least it looks like there's nothing wrong with your car!0
To address some comments above....I did buy the car on the promise of high MPG. Anyone who says that MPG was not a factor is not being honest.
Here are some of my observations.
Yesterday I believe I finally figured out why I am not seeing the MPG ratings I expected on my 2012 Hyundai Elantra. Some of you will probably say that you've known this all along while others will imply that I must be stupid for not figuring it out sooner.
All I can say is that I have not seen a post that clarified things for me in this manner. Also, I am slow sometimes so bear with me.
I left the office yesterday afternoon at about 3PM. It was sunny and 53. Just as I got on the highway I reset the MPG and drove the 23 mile Inter-county Connector home. My home is just off the ICC, one mile and 2 lights.
While on the ICC I put the cruise control on and set it for 59. Low and behold, I finally saw that elusive 40ish MPG. It ranged from 38.7 to 40.2 and rose and fell with the ups and downs of the highway ( it's not a level drive at times ).
As soon as I got off the ICC, on that final 1 mile to my house, the MPG immediately fell and by the time I parked I was in the 36 range.
The following morning (very early) I reversed the trip. It was 35 degrees outside. By the time I reached the ICC (again only a mile away) my MPG was 34.6. I set my cruise control to 59 and on this 23 mile drive reached a 35.1 MPG.
After thinking about these results I have concluded the following:
1. 40 MPG is possible in fact you're likely getting it on your highway drives. Unfortunately, it is being obscured by the absolutely horrible city/local MPG
2. The city/local MPG is likely WAY under the conservative 29 estimate and could be as low as 18 to 20 MPG. That's right a tiny car like this may only be getting 18 to 20 in the city how is that possible?
3. Every organization that is testing the car, as well as many posters here, is focused on the wrong MPG rating. It's the city/local driving MPG that is causing your overall MPG to look so bad. There is also to much focus on point in time trips instead of everyday commutes
4. It does not take much city/local driving to completely trash your overall MPG. Just look at the impact from that 1 mile drive from the ICC to my home. Or look at the impact from minor hills on the ICC (a brand new and relatively flat highway)
5. The colder the weather the worse the MPG seems to be. Why didn't my MPG recover to 40ish the following morning? Clearly there was more highway MPG to offset the city/local MPG, right? I conclude that the highway and city/local MPGs must be lower when it's cold. Perhaps significantly
6. The car appears to have no intelligence when it comes to creating or maintaining MPG. If it did, I believe I would not see such a dramatic fluctuations from hills or from one mile of local driving
7. The ECO mode should do a better job of offsetting the "Lead" foot syndrome. Does not take much of a press of the pedal to achieve a big reaction in RPM
Now this is by no means a scientific test but it does help me to rationalize my results. At this point I guess have to accept that my average MPG will not be as high as expected for my driving situation. I do, however, remain hopeful that MPG will improve as we move into the warmer sprint/summer/fall.
I also hope this information forces the conversation to focus more city/local MPG and why is it so bad for a tiny lightweight car.
I will always feel that Hyundai, and other companies are using puffery and misinformation to mislead consumers by emphasizing unrealistic MPG ratings that are not consistently achievable by most drivers unless they are at the 100% highway level.0
I agree 100%.....the best I've gotten so far is 25.5 MPG, thats combined city and highway, it's ridiculous, I did the same exact driving with a 2009 Corolla and got an average of 28 sometimes 30. Plus after driving this car for almost 2 months, I find the ride isn't that great. A lot of road noise, poor handling, weak suspension. There's no comparison to the Corolla. Hyundai does a good job with styling and all the the little extras but it doesn't do what it's supposed to. I bought this car for one reason and that is gas mileage. There's alot of better cars I could have bought and gotten this gas mileage. Maybe we should start a class action action suit.0
I don't know what the computer has to do with gas mileage. Whether the computer is correct or not the gas mileage is still the same. The only way to check gas mileage is fill your tank, drive, record your mileage, fill again, then divide miles by gallons. Bottom line the car gets terrible gas mileage.0
We don't permit using the forums to organize legal action, but that aside, what would a suit entail? In order to prevail, the class would have to demonstrate that Hyundai knowingly & deliberately deceived consumers and somehow "rigged" a vehicle sent to the EPA for testing to achieve a higher MPG rating than is reasonably possible to achieve. Hyundai didn't create the EPA MPG numbers - that's what every manufacturer puts on the sticker. Some consumers are getting within range of the EPA estimates, so obviously it's not impossible. I don't think you'd find a lawyer in the land to take such a case, as it's nearly impossible to prove.
Plus, as a consumer, if the suit were settled in the consumers' favor, you'd be looking at something like $200 three years from now, or a $500 coupon off the purchase of your next Hyundai. That's how these things tend to go.

crankeee Posts: 298totally agree with your comments. We have a 4000 lb 2010 Buick and the 3200 lb 2012 Sonata. City mileage very close on both cars since we have the same terrain with both cars. 20-22 on Buick and 20-24 on Sonata. The variation depends on amount of stop and go not speed.
The big difference is the highway MPG. Speed also is the biggest factor on the highway but the Buick is 28-29 and the Sonata is 35-38 totally dependent upon speed if no big hills. The 20% difference is totally driven by weight & speed IMO.
So we agree with your conclusion. The EPA #'s must be some freeway or not stop and go that affects all cars except the hybrids that are also lower weight across the board.
Changing your driving route to include more freeway (if available to you)will do more to increase mileage. The averages posted are driven by the specific conditions mainly in city driving that affects the actual versus EPA.0
Two key points here:
4. It does not take much city/local driving to completely trash your overall MPG.
5. The colder the weather the worse the MPG seems to be.
And yes, these points have been brought up here before.
I get to experience these first-hand all the time, because I live where it can be 50 one day and below zero a couple of days later. FE does really suffer in cold weather. Also, it's real easy for city driving to ruin FE. It's possible to adjust for it to some extent, but it takes some attention. The keys are to keep your foot off the accelerator as much as possible by anticipating stops and coasting (in gear) as much as possible, e.g. on downgrades. Also shut off the engine if you'll be stopped for more than a couple of minutes, e.g. waiting for someone. Using basic techniques like that I routinely get 25%+ better FE on my wife's Hyundai than she does. (She doesn't use ANY fuel-saving techniques.)
But if you have to make lots of stops and are stuck in heavy traffic (meaning a low average speed) a lot of the time... your mpg will suck with a non-hybrid. Weight has little to do with it. The mpg of any car when it's stopped is zero.0
elantra4 Posts: 7I also totally agree. i have 8700miles on my 2012 and continue to get 20-22mpg in all city driving, so much for the dealer statements that the mileage will get better as the mileage increases. I have owned 2003 and 2004 Elantras and got about the same. The all highway drives with cruise on can get 35-40mpg,but the average will quickly fall with stop and go city driving. I have been using the Eco mode all the time and decided to turn it off to see any changes. I have found that the city mpg has increased a few mpg 2-3 but i attribute this to my wife and her heavy foot. There is a marked difference in accerlation when it is off. I believe that when she drives she does not have to press down on the gas petal as hard thus the better mileage. Again how you drive does make a difference. I could not agree more with you as to the horrible suspension this car has. Here in New York City the pothole capital of the world, my teeth can rattle from the way this car handles any imperfection in the roads. There are times that i wonder if there are any shocks in this car. I have read that Hyundai improved the suspension on the 2012 after there where complaints on the 2011. They could not have done much. For those that drive in other states where the highways and roads are well maintained they may never notice this fault. Take this car to some poor maintained roads and see what i am talking about. This car has some serous cab rock and roll on those kind of roads.0
AS I understand it Hyundai did not send the Elantra to the EPA for testing. They tested it themselves and sent the results to the EPA.
There is a recent court case by a women who took Honda to small claims court over exaggerated MPG claims. She won nearly 10K in damages.0
Well, see... that's part of my point. If you look at the class action proposed settlement, it's almost nothing. You're almost always better off pursuing some sort of remedy on your own, whether legal or by working with dealerships/manufacturers.
I believe the basis of her win was tied to her ability to prove, via documentation, that mileage decreased following the software update provided by Honda (which is what's happening with these vehicles). She may have "won," technically, but she won't get anything yet. The case was immediately appealed. It is widely believed that anything tied to "false advertising" won't be upheld, though the post-software update reduction in MPG probably will.
Don't get me wrong - I am not disputing anyone's claim that they're not getting expected MPGs, and I don't ride with anyone so I can't say whether it's a vehicle issue or a driving issue. Some people have reported getting close to the EPA numbers, others haven't. I can't tell you why that is.

Twitter users choose the microblogs they follow, but that doesn't mean they always like what they get. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Georgia Institute of Technology found that users say only a little more than a third of the tweets they receive are worthwhile.
Other tweets are either so-so or, in one out of four cases, not worth reading at all.
Twitter says more than 200 million tweets are sent each day, yet most users get little feedback about the messages they send besides occasional retweets by followers, or when followers opt to stop following them.
"If we understood what is worth reading and why, we might design better tools for presenting and filtering content, as well as help people understand the expectations of other users," said Paul André, a post-doctoral fellow in Carnegie Mellon's Human-Computer Interaction Institute and lead author of the study.
"A well-received tweet is not all that common," said Michael Bernstein, a co-author of the study and doctoral student at MIT. "A significant amount of content is considered not worth reading, for a variety of reasons." Despite the social nature of Twitter, tweets that were part of someone else's conversation, or updates around current mood or activity were the most strongly disliked.
On the other hand, tweets that included questions to followers, information sharing and self-promotion (such as links to content the writer had created) were more often liked.

By Jeff Mason
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - White House economic adviser Brian Deese is a leading candidate to become deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Deese, now deputy director of the White House's National Economic Council, would join Sylvia Mathews Burwell, currently president of the Walmart Foundation, whom Obama tapped on Monday to be director of OMB.
Deese is a young, popular member of the president's economic team who was closely involved with the administration's bailout of the auto industry.
Deese coordinates policy at the White House on taxes, financial regulation, clean energy, and manufacturing.
If confirmed, Deese would help Burwell in executing the president's budget goals of reducing the U.S. deficit while investing in areas that would spur U.S. competitiveness such as early childhood education and clean energy technology.
Prior to his time in the White House, Deese served as economic policy director to then-Senator Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign.
He then became one of the rare Clinton staffers who landed in Obama's orbit after her loss in the Democratic nominating contest that year, serving as deputy economic policy director in Obama's campaign.
Deese is known within the White House for being able to explain complicated economic policy in layman's terms. He has traveled with Obama on domestic trips as the president pressed for economic policy initiatives.
In January, Deese said Obama would seek "targeted and smart" investments in research and aim to use corporate tax reform to "level the playing field" for renewable forms of energy.
OMB and its leaders are likely to play a key role in the budget fight with Congress over spending cuts and tax breaks. Obama and congressional leaders failed to reach a deal last week to block or delay $85 billion in automatic spending cuts known as "sequestration."

Kristen Stewart: Slime Victim at Kids' Choice Awards 2013!
Kristen Stewart is covered in slime while walking backstage at the 2013 Kids' Choice Awards held at the USC Galen Center on Saturday (March 23) in Los Angeles.
The 22-year-old actress won the award for Favorite Movie Actress and got covered in the green slime after she hugged presenters Sandra Bullock and Neil Patrick Harris, who were slimed before presenting the award.
FYI: Kristen is wearing an Osman dress and changed into some comfy flats once she was inside at the show.
