Simply anecdotal, but our newest car, the CEO's Hyundai Tucson, has never gotten close to the "31 mpg hwy" that the sticker and all of Hyundai's lit boasts about. I've even done a longish trip, no a/c, driving like a geezer, and the best I could do was the high 20s.
I have several car nut geezer buds, many with new cars in the past year or so, and all have remarked that they cannot get near the "highway" number on their various cars...In my older cars I can do that easily. Something has changed/gotten more lab-like and even less real world-like imo, down at the Ministry of Save Us From Ourselves, aka the US EPA.
Not surprised that few here report mpg that matches their X's window sticker, esp if done over many tanks worth, with arithmetic, not the OBC readout.
