I concur. Even being boosted and having my AFR set aggressively I avg 33/34mpg. Hell, even when I do my land speed run weekends I still stay at above 30mpg and that is with pushing it over 110mph for a total of 7-15 miles on those weekends.

What's worse is those two sub-32 mpg numbers are: 31.67 and 31.92. And that's from 2.5 years of driving without a care in the world and just being amazed that I got such good mileage. Now that I'm paying attention to how I drive, I'm getting close to 40 mpg. And that's without doing all of that crazy hypermiling stuff!

. My figures are even more pronounced....I = about 9 times that many tanks and the ones under 35 mpg combined = about one percent.
