Where do you believe the 18 mpg number came from? They said EPA at the start of the article, but I found otherwise.

Epa (w/ new testing standard) has the F at 16/23. If they took the average of the two it would be 19.5 mpg. From page 9 on http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/FEG2008.pdf.

I can't wait until I get mine (waiting for the 09s to come out).

Bumping an old post, but I'm wondering upon what they based their residuals... limited editions don't tend to hold value as well, especially in the context of a poor economy.

The only reason the IS-F made the list is no gas guzzler tax compared to M3, C63, RS4. I average 19.3 mpg mostly freeway....always sport mode manual!
