Is the 2016 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell good on gas?
At up to 50 MPG combined, the 2016 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell is better than average for a Small Sport Utility Vehicle 2WD — that class averages about 26.2 MPG across 1,076 EPA-tested versions, so it's a good pick on fuel for its size.
Real-world MPG vs the EPA number
The EPA figures above come from a standardized dynamometer test, not the open road — real-world MPG typically runs a bit lower depending on your driving, climate and terrain. That's true of every car on this site, old or new.
EPA updated its fuel-economy equations again for model year 2017 — mostly affecting hybrids and turbocharged engines — and recalculated 2011-2016 ratings to match, in some cases 1-2 MPG lower. The number above already reflects that update.
