As you can see I have a claim of 69 mpg for the Sport Coupe. Those are real, undoctored numbers... BUT... in reality the car averages about half that. The 69 mpg run was under extraordinary conditions of P&G and high tail winds. I put it there to illustrate the fallacy of posting up fe claims based on one short run, or short fills, or whatever that has inadequate inputs to compensate for statistical anomolies.
