So now, 20MPG
IS possible?

Read the whole chart. I mostly drive on the highway. I can never drive 65mph or less on the highway. I keep the cruise at 70+. I hardly run into traffic. You probably run into a lot of traffic in So Cal, which is lots of stop-n-go and idle time that kills your MPG. BUT READ: I am not talking about highway+extended idle time+stop&go, etc--I am talking strictly highway (with some city) where I get 20+. You can't say your car gets XX highway mileage when you're on interstate 5 during rush hour in bumper-to-bumper traffic--that's not highway mileage! Why don't you take a trip out somewhere, set the cruise at 70 and report back what you get? I don't even know if that's possible near the vicinity of So Cal, which is another reason why it's a great place to visit, but never to live in.
BTW, if I drove in my dream world, I'd be in a GT3 RS getting 4MPG driving up an open canyon road.

Yeah, I know. Oh, well. But if I got that kind of MPG's, I'd be pissed, too, and do anything to keep myself in denial.
