Really? We are debating gas mileage on a performance car with full time AWD?

25mpg mixed is great for a car that offers this kind of performance.

If you want MPG, go get a Prius.

Oh ok I guess you would know my car and my driving habits better than me, huh?

Yes, they changed the values to be better representative of how people normally drive. But the mpg sticker values are still conservative particularly for enthusiasts in sports cars.

We're "debating" it because fuel economy was one of the OP's stated criteria.

I know enough to know that you're FOS and I've grown tired of people exaggerating the fuel economy of their cars the same way they used to exaggerate the power output.
