Im sure its been answered already but the answer here is simple.

Its the short gearing. At 3100rpm at highway cruise its using far revs than most cars. If you short shift around town or cruise at 80kph then the numbers will be great.

But stuff that, im on e85 and blast it everywhere, averaging 20mpg. Thats plenty enough on relatively cheap e85 fuel and more than 200whp.
