With my Infiniti I can beat the highway sticker when averaging 70-80 mph. (23.75 vs 22).
Of course, those numbers arent all that great to begin with. But Im never lacking passing power either.

I won't have to worry about that since I can't reach that speed legally here anyway!
Lol.
Count me in as well. I haven't given a flying hoot about MPG's for 40 plus years.
If MPG's were a factor for me, I wouldn't be driving a Pathfinder for the last 17 years. Horrible on gas. Don't care.

I don*t care either. I mean it probably helps to live in the state with the cheapest gas in the nation forever ever,but not really...

The epa sets mileage estimates based on speed of 21city and 55 highway. Your 80 mph speed is irrelevant.
Interesting info about your testing speeds.
For comparisons sake, here's ours:
Conversion chart:
19km/h = 11.80mph
63km/h = 39.14mph
120km/h = 74.56mph

More realistic MPG claims are due out after Sept 4th in the EU due to new testing procedures.

Emissions are also expected to be shown as being higher.

Yes I can drive at 75~80 mph and still meet or beat the highway EPA mpg's on my current VW Passat、BMW 528i、and Honda CR-V.
BTW, nice to see your post!

It's not the same as VW.
"The suspect tests were performed on samples of manufactured vehicles selected during the quality assurance process. Samples were found to have been tested under incorrect driving conditions.
Suzuki unearthed improper tests on 6,401 units out of 12,819 since 2012. Mazda detected inappropriate testing on 72 vehicles out of 1,875 since 2014, while Yamaha found seven instances out of 335 since 2016."
4% of the 1875 vehicles tested were tested under incorret driving conditions....

My point is, as stated, it was not Mazda that called it out, but it was a Mazdas response to a request by Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport for all Japanese domestic automakers to investigate compliance procedures of conducting improper fuel economy and emissions tests.

Looks like they were essentially asked to investigate their testing procedures, then submit their findings back to the ministry. I guess the question would be whether or not Mazda and some of these other companies also on the list knew they were deficient/improper before or after the findings.
