Wave your BS flag for all you are worth. Get a reliable SG of some form, adjust your driving style based on the statistical feedback from the live data feed, and you WILL get better results.

That said, if you DONT want to drive at 52mph in 6th gear, don't bother. Getting very high mpg in the Si (30+) calls for very restrained (or incredibly boring if you are really trying for ultra mpg) driving...which most SI owners are NOT going to have enough restraint to pull off.

Since you are in TX, if you can take the boredom it is easily verified. Fill, find flat road, set cruise at 52mph in 6th gear and run the tank out. Check back then with your 'BS flag'... If the point of your post is 'drive hard' then you will NEVER see high MPG, which this car is very capable of, dolt.
