gearing makes a difference as mentioned earlier with the q45 diff.

followed by people learning how to drive.

SLOW DOWN

slow acceleration + low revs + overall low speed + coasting a lot + correct gearing = MPG

I averaged in my DD (06 sentra spec v) 33mpg on the highway because I took my time at 70mph instead of going 75~80

I can imagine a lightly moded VQ with the 6 speed trans and 3.7 or lower rear gear and the correct driving can pull off some amazing numbers.
