Of course around here the EPA rating is generally regarded as a lower limit. I bet the Supra can do better.
I know it can do better, mine has actually if you see the MPG history in my fuel log. I have just deemed it a write-off as far as maintenance and upkeep are concerned. It's been dented several times and already had an accident history before I got it, so I'm done spending on keeping it as a daily..sadly. If it was a nice body with a turbo I'd forsake MPG and keep driving it.

Since I'm ready to buy an HX, I'm lumbering along in the Supra until I find the Honda. The Supra will be a v8 swap track/toy car someday, I hope.
