The gas Sonata ranges are our arithmetic: tank capacity times the EPA combined rating, rounded. The footnote on those specification pages says EPA estimates are for comparison and that actual mileage will vary with options, driving conditions, driving habits and the vehicle's condition.

Full-tank figures are estimates for comparison, not a promise of how far you can drive; your range will vary with how and where you drive.
