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.
Same with my Patriot, it was origionally rated like 25/29, the reduced it to 23/27, but i average 26-27 in mixed driving and have gotten 32 on the highway, or even if mixed if I watch what I doing lol.
