mileage estimates, real world, coupe GT and 4000csq?

[Geordie]

On the highway I measured 38 mpg....keep in mind that I am Canadian so my
gallons are larger than American gallons. So, with my poor math skills, that
comes to something like 31.6 mpg?

Now, I may have made a bad measurement, well...hey you never know, that
could be the case. I did, however, use the very same pump to refill my tank
after the trip, and I used the very same fill technique. I documented it
quite well. Also, the highway speeds here are also kinda slow, and they are
heavily policed, so I tend to goes as fast as the police and photo radar
will allow without penalty...which is usually 10km/h over the limit. So the
fastest I'm doing is 100 km/h, 62 mph....my engine isn't revving too fast at
those speeds.

maybe I just suck at math, who knows.
