I use the same filling station, and will say that there was a touch more highway driving, but it is pretty strange to see this. Any explanations?

I don't know what's going on, but I have to think something is wrong somewhere. A 4wd CC usually tops out at 20 / 21, flat road & a tailwind. Dave Whitmer has a 2wd that he's modified pretty heavily for aerodynamics, and he's topping out about 25.
Maybe some kid is adding 3 gallons when you're not looking?
