Hmm, the fuel economy has indeed gone up. One thing that's bothering me is why the 3GR is the GS gets a lower fuel economy rating than the identical 3GR in the Toyota Crown over in Japan? Could the difference in octane and quality of gas have such a big role on the fuel economy? In the Crown, the 3GR is rated at about the equivalent of 27mpg (after converting from the Japanese system). Is the Japanese rating *possibly* based on highway economy?
