OK, but look at the rest of the information:

MPG (city) 13
MPG (highway) 19

Does anyone get that low of MPG? My Auto S4 get better and I remember many post here telling of other model years getting better MPG.

Everyone agree with their greenhouse gas report?

Looks like the 85-86 models get better gas mileage and pollute less:

Engineers round to the closer value. I'm not surprised those values are rounded the way they are as that follows the accepted practice.

If I drive normaly (no quick off line starts and kick-downs). I get ~ 17 MPG in the city and driving at 70 MPH and below out on the road it's 21+ MPG.

Of course my dash reads a bit better, 18-19 city, 24-25 HW.

I would not be afraid to put mine up for emission testing either. I'm sure it would even pass Ca. standards with room to spare.

I know I'm not the only one getting this, right?

If I wasn't afraid of getting tickets I could get my mpg that low.

Ok, so the 928 is in the category "Minicompact Cars" - listening to the name I'd think that that group would host the Yugo and Nissan Micra..
