28 MPG + 2.8 MPG = 30.8 MPG.

30.8 MPG + 3.1 MPG = 33.9 MPG.

Huh. Kinda looks like 34 MPG.

Add to that that he does almost all of his driving at 50 MPH, and his claim is extremely realistic.
Sounds like typical SRJ professional troll behavior. He will poo poo anyone that disagrees with him no matter how much evidence you have to the contrary. Good thing #38 was his "last post here". I guess he ran out of good things to say.
