I drive a 4x4 SUV. I log the good, the bad, and the ugly. My lowest is 1.3MPG below EPA at a whopping 12.79MPG. I've been told that my fuel pressure regulator is on it's way out. So starting takes two tries every time and the first 1/2 mile can be a little funky.

I guess I look at it like the old EPA numbers. That's great that they can get 14MPG's in town, would have been nice if they stopped the car once or twice during testing though. So I guess if you are looking to come up with the old school EPA numbers then go for it. But if you want to show people the Real World results your best off leaving it in there.
