That's pretty amazing. I averaged about 10-12mpg in the city, and that was not running from the cops. Just normal, safe driving while occasionally exceeding posted speed limits. My friend gets about the same in his. Your high-altitude driving might be bumping your mileage a bit, but I woulod be shocked if your calculations are accurate. You are saying that with a 4k lb., AWD 300hp turbo car you get 21 in city driving? Is it downhill in both directions everywhere you go?
