Also, there are many different "EPA" numbers. There are old and new EPA figures, ie for the American market, by standards set by the EPA, there are European standards, set by EU regulations. The EU numbers are now for lowest/city/mix, but during the 1990's the old system had city/90/120 km/h. My opinion is that stating 90 and 120 km/h is better than a vague 'highway' number.
Also, is there a simple way to compare American EPA numbers to their European counterparts, and vice versa? I believe the tests are slightly different, so that may complicate matters.

Wish you luck with fixing your car. So it's down because you're putting a more efficient engine in there, right? Just joking
