there rating for fuel economy is it more than they say

The fuel ratings are as follows: engine Make/model size Trans mi./gal. #Cyl city Hwy HYUNDAI TUCSON 2.0 / 4 M5+ 27 36 HYUNDAI TUCSON 2.0 / 4 A4E 26 35 HYUNDAI TUCSON 2.7 / 6 A4E 24 34 HYUNDAI TUCSON 4X4 2.7 / 6 A4E 23 32 "there rating for fuel economy is it more than they say" I am not sure what you mean here. But if you are getting better fuel economy, great. If nt I would expect to get around 22MPG-city and 30-32MPG-Highway. Those are the real world numbers. Or if you do a combined driving I would say about 26MPG-combined City/Highway I hope this helps. Best of luck.

The ratings for fuel economy are typically rated for average drivers under average conditions. The window sticker will show that the typical driver on a rating of 27 will experience anywhere from 23-29 mpg, and on a rating of 36, anywhere from, say, 31 - 39 mpg. It's really hard to say whether or not they will be "higher" than expected. My '07 Dodge Caliber is rated for 25 city/27 highway but I have been averaging 29 mpg combined driving, so sometimes it works that way.
Whoa. Where did you get these ratings? They are terribly off. Are those the old ones before the new standards came out? I have a 2007 4cyl auto, and the sticker said 20/25. It's about bang on, but you'll only get the 25 highway if you go 55mph. Usually, you'll get 21mpg in mixed driving with the AC on.
