Too lazy to read all the pages of this thing...can't recall if I've commented in the past.

My car 2015 FRS man trans. with currently 21,826 miles, now 11 months old.

Have never checked mileage myself with a calculator.

Took a trip this summer from here (northern Calif.) to western New York State. Returned two months later to northern Calif. Each trip was about 3000 miles.

Driving east trip computer said 33.2 mpg for that 3000 miles.

I drove about 1800 miles within western NYS whilst there. Never reset the trip computer before my return to Calif..

Driving west, two months later, trip computer said 32.8 (after about 7800 miles total).

I typically drive 7 to 10 mph over any given speed limit. (Freeway/Turnpike limits along that trip vary from 65 to 80mph limits.)

The worst mileage...and that's very temporary...I've ever seen is 21mpg (in months past)....that after beating the piss out of the car on winding dirt roads in the 'Lost Coast' of Northern Calif. Just last weekend drove that area again, and now have a few pieces of metal under car to bend back in place...LOL. After that, and still not resetting computer, mpg reads 32.5
