Yeah, you know how they say EPA made their tests more realistic and old cars now have lower MPG ratings than were originally on their sticker? My pickup truck was rated at 15/20 with the EPA's new ratings (was 17/21) However my 10 year old truck was getting in the high 20's (25-27mpg) on the highway. My camaro on the other hand is rated at 16/24 but I'm lucky if I average 23/24 on the highway. So I'm waiting for my Camaro to get 30MPG on the highway haha... Maybe it'll take another 100k miles.
