I do both, usually the car is a little higher than I calculate, but it's close. Averaging 41-42 MPG.
70 miles a day back and forth to work.

The results on that page aren't what I would call "real world".
Just guessing, but 15% of TCH owners are fanatics (like us) and go out of our way to achieve improved mileage.
The other 85% of owners are 'normal' people who just get in the car and drive. They don't fixate on the little things, such as tire pressure and achieving Stage 4 as soon as possible.
IMHO, the page should not be looked at as a cross section of the TCH driving population.

I think you have another poll question here that would be interesting. I think the number is higher for those who have a high interest in the little details.
I have a GPS and I am going to check the Speedometer against the GPS tonight. I have not thought to check this!

My MFD is higher by 1-3mpg and my spedometer is lower by 2mph against my GPS and the "You Speed IS" police signs\radars.
