the new ratings factored in a/c use, faster highway speeds, etc. more real life situations than testing it on a treadmill for cars

yeah, with ac on this summer, interstate speeds of 80 mph and fairly hard city driving i was getting 31-33 with mine...makes me feel better to see those ratings instead of the old ones. thought i might have a dud

Work with a Canadian gallon if you are seeking better fuel numbers.
