Despite EPA mandated emissions control systems and E10 gasoline, I've somehow managed to get over 50% over EPA combined with a 4 liter Ford Mustang without any modifications to my emissions controls or adding anything to my fuel. In fact, I've only had one fill-up that was under the EPA highway estimate. I generally get better fuel economy commuting than on freeway trips. I must be doing something wrong. :shrug:
