How accurate is the Hyundai Elantra’s onboard fuel economy display compared to real-world mileage in Pakistan?

The Elantra comes with a digital display for real-time and average fuel consumption. How reliable is this reading compared to actual mileage measured by owners in Pakistani cities and highways? Do owners often find a discrepancy?

While the Hyundai Elantra’s onboard fuel economy display provides a general estimate, many Pakistani users report discrepancies between the displayed figures and actual mileage. In ideal conditions, such as smooth highway driving, the onboard system may be fairly accurate. However, in urban driving with frequent stops, rough roads, and local fuel inconsistencies, the real-world fuel economy is often lower than the digital reading. For example, the display might show 12–13 km/l, but actual mileage may be closer to 9–10 km/l in city conditions. Factors like tire pressure, driving style, and traffic patterns all influence real consumption more than the ECU’s predictive average.
