Too bad the same is not for my GT-R. If I go 80 or a bit more I get like 20-21 MPG if I am lucky and I have to go 70 or below to actually get the EPA 24 MPG.

Not that I really care about the MPG that much but I am curious how the numbers differe so much in real practice for the cars considering the highway difference is only 2 mpg (24 vs 26)

This is a great story. :icon17:

I drive like a pastor, only get 21mpg whatever.....

One trip to NC from Florida, I averaged 27-28 highway at 80mph and got almost 500 miles to a tank. With my '13 auto, I got about 20 combined. With my new '14 sport/manual, I'm getting 21-22 combined but its still got less than 1k miles on it. The best average I ever got was when I was modded.

Plus 1 more reason for mods!

Exactly right.
2009 6MT - still have it.....all breather bolt ons you can get.
My mileage got better after the mods.

I will drink fuel like water after a while with stop start heavy foot driving.

Occasional long drives constant speed will drop the fuel consumption and even things out. Make an afternoon of it 200 miles will do wonders.
