Expert Quotes:

18 mpg city, 27 highway V-6; 17/25 V-8
U.S. EPA

figures are impressive given this vehicle's size and available power
Consumer Guide

The 2011 Hyundai Genesis is a large luxury sedan, and its mileage figures are pretty much on par with other rivals. It comes in V-6 and V-8 variants, and while the V-6 is right in with other V-6 rivals, at 18 mpg city, 27 highway, the V-8 model is a bit better than you might expect, at 17/25.

Unlike most other luxury vehicles, the Genesis doesn't require premium gasoline; it's optional and yields a few more horsepower but likely won't affect fuel economy.
