Since the 1950s, the popular calculation of how old a dog was âin human yearsâ has been that 1 dog year is the equivalent of 7 human ones. Even though this formula has been around for a surprisingly long time, the reality is not so cut-and-dried. That doesnât stop many people from defaulting to this traditional calculation.
Oil Changes. I have a 2006 Hyundai Sonata with 56,000 miles on it. The owners manual says to change the oil every 7500 miles. The place I take the car to for the oil change says every 3000 miles. Friends of mine say every 3000 miles because it is mainly driven in the city.
EV range: 20; MPG in hybrid mode, not as good (38 vs. 50 for the outgoing Toyota). Fordâs Energi siblings, the C-Max and Fusion, are rated 19 miles range. The pending 2016 Hyundai Sonata PHEV is rated a solid 27. The Volt had been rated 38, and this year itâs 53.
