New EPA rating comparison.

More realistic now, my RT was 17-25 under the old standard, now it's 15-23.

The new numbers are in agreement with my experience with nearly 30K miles. My numbers are just a tad over the new estimates.

I think the old numbers were much more accurate. My best tank was 25, worst was 17. In 34k miles, I've never gotten below 17 mpg. How the hell do they figure 15 mpg? Is that supposed to be what you get towing a large boat?

They are trying to take in account everyone driving habits. Everyone will get a different MPG. No two are alike. They are trying to get a more accurate estimate. There are hundreds of variables.

Those new numbers seem much more realistic to me, although I think the city mileage is still stretching it a bit. I've never averaged more than 12.9 mpg in the city.

The new results are more in line, I went back and looked at other vehicles I own and have owned in the past and they are pretty much dead-on.
