As to Wayne's numbers, someone needs to perform independent verification of his claims.
EPA values are meaningless to us. We don't drive on a dynamometer.
And I have no idea how often a car's 'guess-o-meter' samples, refreshes, and can accurately portray actual instantaneous mpg at a given speed.
Only a complete energy balance can tell us what a vehicle is doing.
I believe Wayne’s numbers because I’m getting BETTERS THAN HIS NUMBERS at each speed increment
