Not wanting to brag, but my wife doesn't get much worse FE than I do. She could engine-brake more often, or try to EOC, but her trip fuel consumption is always within 5-10% of what I would have had.

On the other hand, her dad is a different story. When he borrowed our car, I checked the car's OBC for that day's average FE, then check my fuel log for the last time it was that bad - that happened to be the previous time he borrowed our car.

YKYAEM when... You are anxiously waiting for someone to return with your car, so that you check the OBC for the FE.
