How is that even possible? It just makes me laugh. Either you're square or you're not square, and that statement is silly, despite it actually being a good way to describe the situation.

Yeah, I don't know if I'd be using 'real world' #s nor actually really care if someone said to me 'My Camaro gets 1MPG better in the real world than your 5L Mustang'

'Yeah, I beat the **** outta it...not try to find a way to match 'x' cars mileage'
