The fuel consumption sounds about right for a turbo, perhaps a little high. Hwy consumption depends on how you drive. If you cruise at 100 kph, you should get around 8 L/ 100km. Round town, about 10 L / 100km.

Hyundai Tucson 2009 high fuel consumption

There are a lot of factors that may contribute to high fuel consumption. Does the engine run ok during normal operation? Rough idle? Check engine light on? Have the oxygen sensors scanned for operating information to determine if the fuel system is operating effeciently by a qualified service center. These sensors monitor the effeciency of the fuel system

My Hyundai 1999 model CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND THE FUEL CONSUMPTION IS HIGH.

Do you have black smoke or what looks like soot coming out of the tail pipe. The check engine light monitors fuel pressure through the computer and pressure regulator. It will come on if the pump pressure is too high or too low. If the pressure regulator is faulty it could cause excessive fuel consumption,

On my 02 eldorado running tall tires at 65mph rpm is 1750. what mpg can i expect

you might get there but I doubt it as the digger diameter wheels takes more power to turn so the throttle will be opened wider even though the rpm's are lower.

Rattle noise under driver's side hood 2012 Subaru Forester

Could be the catalytic converter heat shields, or the exhaust heat shields bolted to the underbody. Might also be the catalytic converter internal converter honeycomb broken loose. Unusual, but can occur if excess unburned fuel is being passed to the converter. High fuel consumption is another clue.

High fuel consumption, could it be coolant sensor

I'd be looking at a partially clogged fuel filter first choice. Also check for a possible small fuel line leak. Question for you- when was last "healthy" tune up? A plugged air filter, worn spark plugs and colder weather all contribute to a "high fuel consumption"

2001 subaru forester 225000 kms..how long do they typically last?

Provided the vehicle has been serviced regulary and had good quality oil and filters, theres no reason the car shouldn't get 400,000+ kms. Check its service history, and its oil consumption.
