LOL! Been there, done that, needing to buy the t-shirt! You're on for a little friendly competition! (grin back at ya!)

Hey, mine is actually a 4-cam V-6. My main problem is that, in being an old drag racer, and way too competitive, when some butthead comes up and thinks he just has to be in front of me, I still take offense to it...once in a while...

Yeah, sometimes the 6-cylinder cars get BETTER mileage, due to having the oomph to pull themselves down the road much more easily. It's a tangled web for whoever does the sorting, and I wouldn't want the job - at all.

Hey, I looked at your numbers, and your best is just a couple of mpg or so better than mine. I seem to be stuck in the mid 20s for the winter, but then I'm not getting a lot of miles on the road, since all of my current classes are either all online or hybrids. Almost everything I do is short trip and the car doesn't even get a chance to warm up. I gotta do something about an electric vehicle for short trips!!!
