Not that I'm nitpicking, but unless Optimas have a 20+ gallon fuel tank, this is a wee bit of an exaggeration, no?


Just going off what was on the readout, Bro. I have done some research and heard that they miss the mark on their EPA estimates once they're in the wild...

Just started looking at Kia's this morning. That car has it all over the others in it's class. Was pretty impressed.

Going to test drive later this week.

I'm looking for a cheap commute car. The Kia Forte looks like the winner.

That's over 600 miles on a tank. Optima LX specs say 18.5 gallon tank and EPA ratings of 24 and 35. That gives you an approximate range of 444 to 647.5. I'm just not buying you had 330 with over half a tank left.
