Based on my experience, this is a joke.

However, if he were fired out of a canon and was going with the wind, downhill, in neutral, perhaps.

Sorry, this defies logic.

LOL

I have NEVER averaged 28 mpg in my lowly 3.2!!!!!
and that's with lightweight wheels, weekly checking of tire pressure, lighter seats and being the only passenger 80% of the time.
I short shift 90% of the time as well..wonder if that helps or hurts.
