I echo what bdesj said. If you go to craigvetter.com and see what the conditions are you will see that they are real driving conditions on real roads in real wind and weather conditions, at the posted speed limit which are between 65mph and 70mph. Generaly speeking fuel economy claims about what other people get for fuel consumpion are suspect...
