Reply #3: I'm a bit skeptical about these 2008 numbers from my experience [View All]

[CRF450]

That particular site doesn't list my 01 Trans Am, but I remember seing one that had the 08 milage numbers for it. Its rated 19/28, the new 08 number were 17/26 I believe. Which is way below what I actually get! I average around 22mpg which is half city driving and then country roads, and I have reached 31mpg on the interstate going 74mph. Hell, they rated the Corvette 25mpg HWY when they can also reach around 30mpg, and these things are 400+hp monsters now!

I have an 04 Dodge Dakota 4x4 and it averages around 16mpg in town and on my work route, and I assume it can probably get just over 20mpg HWY cause my brother has the same exact truck (same options too) and he's gotten 21mpg on the interstate. The new 08 numbers for it is 13/18.

I dont drive like a grandma but these really are the mpg numbers I'm achieving. Hell, my dad's 97 Crown Vic also gets well over its milage rating. It averages around the same as my T/A and the best its gotten on the HWY is 28mpg. New 08 number on it is 15/23, which is bullshit.
