I also think this is why not many other people notice the MPG issue.

#1 people tend NOT to keep any "real" records of there FE results.
#2 they chalk it up to "old car" must be normal.
#3 the "new" mpg listings from the feds just "happen" to coincide with the "lower" mpg figures people get with ethanol. so they assume it "must" be right.

all my vehicles now get (except the van) roughly what the EPA says they should get. Yet I have hundreds of thousands of miles of experience that says these FE results are "NOT" normal.
