Didn't like the new numbering system at first, sounded like a scam to tweak CAFE ratings, but from what I can tell since the numbers are pretty realistic now. Sounds like a bunch of you were already over the EPA, but for my truck that had an EPA like 16 city/20 highway I -never- got over 17 to a tank, even with a 40 minute highway commute, and babying the gas taking off. I was pretty annoyed back then, but the new numbers are like 14-18, putting average at 16... which put my 17 mpg about 6% over EPA... these days it gets around 16 mpg with the 10% ethanol... seems like the adjustment is right-on.
