I got it by a search on this forum! Admittedly a wide range of reports ranging from low teens like mine (obviously something wrong) to nearly 30 if I recall (that one probably user error). The official EPA numbers are around 22 combined. But I take your point. Kicking around 3500 lbs of iron, rubber and glass has got to cost something . . .
