MFG estimates are usually way off, and are based on 55 mph I presume. As I mentioned in my 1992 5 speed turbo driving 80 mph on a flat road to Orlando I averaged about 30 MPG If I drove 55 and shifted conservatively in order to get better mileage, well maybe I would have got another few miles per gallon, but realistically if it was hilly like the Mass Turnpike for instance, or windy, or tire pressures were off by a bit....guess my point is the conditions would have to be unrealistically perfect to get 38 mpg....heck if you were trying you could probably get 50, but for the average joe who fills up his tank and drives to and from work everyday who I assume we are talking about, 30 highway sounds about right.
