Revised EPA standards

I couldn't find a thread on this, but what is everyone using for their garage cars for EPA? I have the original EPA estimates, but notices some others with the same car using the new estimates based on the new standards. What are everyones thoughts? Is there a standard for this site? obviously is makes everyone % better.

I just talked with Metro about this yeterday. I too was using the old standards. However, we recommend everyone just use the 2008+ because its easy to look up and everyone can get them. To find them go to fueleconomy.gov.

I'm using the revised as well. 29 vs original 33 combined. Still doing better than their highest user submitted MPG :-)
