EPA estimates are to be taken with a grain of salt... they aren't exactly real world.

I've had my IS for about 60k miles, and I've consistently beaten the EPA ratings. They say what, 16/22? I get 20/26, and I don't exactly drive like a grandma.

For the Boxster, I just turned on the cruise and let it do what it does. Nothing fancy there. The car just had an oil change, I replaced the air filter, and the tires were at 36/40 if I remember correctly.
