Fuel consumption numbers depend on how and where you drive and there is no way to compare from person to person.
Do not use GPS as the benchmark for speed. They are only accurate to a few hundred yards and the transmission lag (they are in space after all) means what you are seeing on the speedometer and what you are reading on the GPS are not actually happening at the same time. Always believe the speedo over a GPS no matter how accurate they claim it is. If you have the same number it is more due to coincidence than reality.


The high beams are a separate bulb just like the old ones. It will blind oncoming traffic exactly the same any other high beam on a car.
I always use the electronic speed warning signs around the city to gauge a vehicle's accuracy. As OP said, a lot of vehicles do understate their own speed. I'll go by an electronic sign indicating, for example 25 mph, at 32 mph, but the sign tells me I'm going 29 mph.
