You sure didn't mess up my day but don't compare apples to oranges. If you've got no stoplights where you live then how can you even begin to compare when I'm talking about around town driving. Your example of around town driving seems to be more an example of most peoples highway driving so why do you go off that you can't understand how it's so low? Go look at the EPA ratings. 18 city. Unless your city driving includes stops and is at widely varying throttle positions during drivng it's foolish to even call it city driving or in this case "around town". I can see why you did it though, to try to prove a point you didn't have.

You're not hurting my feelings flying out of here, you're just hurting your own education about your car and getting your feet back into reality.

By the way, how does hot and humid in your mind allow you to get away with running mid-grade? So there's more moisture in the air. You think that equates to water injection when the air temps are high like you encounter? Misguided.

By the way, try reading what I wrote again. Your profile is clean? What's that supposed to mean? I made the comment because your profile indicates you to be a "refinery operator" thus my comment about secret fuel. Sheesh.
