mileage
I get about 14mpg in town fairly consistently.
I recently did a stint on the highway of about 500 miles and got low-30s. And that was with heavy, out-of-round aftermarket wheels, some heavy rain, the odd burst of acceleration (only once or twice), a slipping/flaring transmission, and some a/c. I was doing between 55-65 (to keep the vibration down from the bad rims).
I don't know if 38 is possible or not, but I can see downhill, with a tailwind, and a light throttle foot, it *might* be. Benefit of the doubt, I say. I'm not saying it's 100% true, but let's not go jumping down anyone's throat  He could have been draghting behind 18 wheelers all the way... who knows.
