But then don't US cars tend to be 2WD - my UK spec averages 24-25 mpg all the time over 25,000 miles, which would be just over 20 mpUSg- or do you have US miles that are shorter too? Seems unlikely in the US of Large.....
Even adding 16% would put us at less than 20mpg/Imperial. We mainly have awd's in the US as the fwd's were a low cost attractant for Sube after the svx flopped here.
