all of you that actually go by EPA ratings to be valid information are crazy. I have NEVER seen or heard of any vehicle actually hitting those numbers. I always feel that they are inflated by about 2+mpg.

My experience has differed; virtually every vehicle I've ever owned met or even exceeded its EPA rating, and I don't drive very conservatively at all.

My Land Cruiser is rated for 12/16 and I see 14+/17+ regularly. Our XC90 also gets a touch better than its EPA rating, with the allowance that its my girlfriend's DD and her driving style lends itself to economy.
