[QUOTE=whokilledthejams;44017 Either way, my point was that lots of people claim to regularly see 40mpg in unmodified xBs, though when asked how they do it, they claim they aren't doing anything, that's just how they drive-- while shifting at 3k with 29psi in their tires. [/QUOTE]


I find a lot of people lying about their MPG; it seems to be a state of denial.

Recent instances
2001 Power stroke 4wd, auto, big tires, shorter gears, camper top, tune, big exhaust, drives with cruise set at 75~77 gets 27~29 mpg. I'm sure that Big dave can tell us that that is baloney.

Buddies 240 sx Used to get (when asked) about 30. Now (when asked) gets about 20~21. Buying an Xb now . . .

I just think of it as part of Denial; don't let it bug you.
