Be that as it may, your "real world driving" isn't everyone's real world driving, and the EPA combined cycle is a standardized test that provides repeatable conditions for all cars tested. Your "city" isn't the EPA's city nor is it my city, and neither is your "highway." Those are just words you've chosen to describe two different types of driving you do.
People have been anecdotally reporting 30+mpg in Corvettes for the better part of 20 years, and a friend of a friend with a '14 Stingray says he gets nearly 40 under ideal conditions with his. But we can't really rely on anecdotes for a fair comparison, which is why I quoted the EPA figures. While they may not represent optimal conditions for each car to shine in its own special way, they do provide a baseline for all cars.
