There is no correlation between brake switch and mpg. The only possibility is that you have a mechanical brake pedal problem which is holding hydraulic pressure on the brakes causing drag and a loss of mpg.

SOURCE: How do I change the back brake light of a Hyundai Elantra?

If it is the light in the rear window, there are two plastic caps on either side on the base of the light. Pop off the cap and remove the screws inside. That should allow you to get to the bulb. I went to autozone for the bulb w/o removing it and they gave me the wrong one. If you have the bulb removed, you're better off, if not, the people at advanced got me the correct one without any issues. If it's the brake lights on the back of the trunk, you access those from inside the trunk. On either side, there are thumbscrews (sometimes under the fabric lining flaps). Once you remove the bulb carrier, you'll know which one is out. It usually lines up with the red cover but if you can borrow someone's time, have them look in your trunk at the bulbs as you test your parking lights to see which one lights and which one doesn't. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: oil change procedure on a 2005 Hyundai elantra

it is very easy to change the oil put the car on ramps secure the back end look for the drain plug underneath the engine make sure you have the right size wrench and when you remove the plug also check the gasket on the plug to make sure it is not cracked you will also need an oil filter wrench and my other suggestion to you is to go to autozone to see if they have a Haynes repair manual for your car and if they don't see if they can order you one in the mean time they can also print you off a diagram of how to change the oil in you car safely

SOURCE: 2001 elantra master power window switch

at the bottom and top of the switch there are retaining tabs. you can try to pop it out at those points with a flathead screw driver, but it is sometimes easier to just remove the door panel to get it out.

2010 Hyundai Elantra stuck in park

tried to shift from park to another gear, the shifter would not move.

There are a few possible reasons why your 2010 Hyundai Elantra may be stuck in park even with functioning brake lights and a replaced brake switch and interlock solenoid. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check the fuse: Ensure that the fuse for the brake lights and shift interlock system is not blown. If it is, replace it with a new fuse of the same rating.

2. Inspect the wiring: Examine the wiring that connects the brake lights, brake switch, and shift interlock solenoid. Look for any signs of damage or loose connections. Repair or replace any faulty wiring as necessary.

3. Test the brake light switch: Even though you have replaced the brake switch, it is still possible that the new switch is defective. Use a multimeter to check for continuity when the brake pedal is pressed. If there is no continuity, the brake

Drop in gas milage with drop in altitude

I would guess your car was built to the Emission Standards
for your state,altitude etc

Still a big drop in mpg

If you ever moved, you may need your computer software
reflashed for lower elevation

I would guess the MAF Sensor was out of it's range

Check to see if any codes were stored
Need professional scanner

Look at freeze frame data unless you have been back for weeks

Mileage

The factory tends to use lightweight oil,to increase fuel mileage,
not good for the life of the engine,if heavier oil was put in place,mileage could drop,but not much,maybe 1 mpg,are you sure it's not because of
extended warm up times or more idling than usual?

2008 hyundai elantra. All lights work on the rear of the car except brake lights. Fuses are good. no power to break lights when break peddal is depresed.

The most widespread Hyundai recall, affecting up to 531,894 2005-2008 Accent, Azera, Elantra, Entourage, Santa Fe, Sonata, Tucson, and Veracruz models, is NHTSA Campaign 09V122000. It is focused on a malfunctioning stop lamp switch that may prevent brake lights from illuminating when the pedal is depressed (the same switch may also cause them to stay lit after the brakes are released).
Owners of affected vehicles may contact Hyundai Customer Service at 1-800-633-5151, call the NHTSA Hotline at 1-888-327-4236, or visit SAFERCAR.GOV
