"It appeared everyone was posting higher MPG numbers in metro areas. Scott called their bluff and well all hell broke loose."
Called our bluff? Like we aren't really reporting what we are experiencing?
Look, it's fine if you guys have some particular driving patterns or use that means you get such low mileage. It does NOT mean however that it's what to be expected with normal driving. Hell broke loose because Scott starting calling people liars when they had different results than him. It's as simple as that. Please notice that even though you and Scott are in the minority, people haven't called you liars.
You may not like it, but there are other people who REALLY get around 20 MPG in city without playing "driving miss daisy" (lets just say I doubt either of you drive more spirited than me). There are variations from car to car and some are just lower on the Bell curve. Like a Citroen turbo diesel I tried recently. It was supposed to get twice the mileage of the 9000 but actually was around the same.
