2008 Hyundai Sonata – Car for Fuel Economy

Japan has increased fuel economy requirements
Although, to be fair, requirements is a stronger word than what I should use. Although there are fines to automakers who fail to meet these rules, the fines themselves are quite small. It's the bad publicity for failing to meet the guidelines that Toyota, Honda, et al are more worried about.
