So, it took you in rush hour, in the fast lane, in open loop mode to do as heinously poor as the EPA?

Just shows how awful the average driver is when they complain of not achieving EPA figures. The EPA even simulates using the brakes and accelerating for their highway figures.

Sadly, many people use their brakes on the highway.
