Lyin' about gas mileage.

Azroadster

So I pull in to a local hand wash car wash this morning and the car in front of me is a very nice 350Z in the "purple" color with very nice aftermarket wheels, 305's on the back like me. He's a fairly nice guy and we start talking about our Z's. He finally asks me what kind of gas mileage I get, and I gave him my stock answer that I really don't pay close attention to it because It's not why I bought a sports car, but I then told him that the few times I have checked it on the highway that I got about 28 mpg. He frowns and says that he is averaging 36 mpg on the highway and that there must be something wrong with my Z. Now I know that that 36 mpg is simply not true, but I didn't argue with him. Why do people tell such tall tales about gas mileage? Are they trying to impress others? Anyway, I always find it comical when this happens.
