What the Hyundai Excel sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the Excel, latest tested year 1994:
The label also prints an estimated $2,300 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 332 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the Excel under Subcompact Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the Excel's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 1986 to 1994. Worth checking before you compare a Excel sticker from one year with another:
The figure has stayed broadly flat across the span. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
What's on the Hyundai Excel sticker
Every Monroney label carries the same required blocks: MSRP with itemised options, EPA fuel economy — for this car 27 mpg combined, NHTSA safety ratings, standard and optional equipment, and parts-content origin. Every Excel VIN returns its own build rather than a generic spec.
For how to read each block, what to do if the sticker is lost, and how it differs from a build sheet, see the window sticker guide.

Where to find the VIN on a Hyundai Excel
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every Excel, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Hyundai Excel all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Hyundai Excel whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.

The EPA figures on file are 27 mpg combined (23 city / 32 highway), from its 1994 rating, with an estimated $2,300 a year in fuel printed alongside.
