Well, I have been an advocate of this club for awhile now...all you have to do is never shift above 1000 RPM, never drive over 45MPH, and fudge a little on the math....of which I have never done, so of course, 20+ MPG I have never gotten.
I just got 19.84mpg on a 277 mile trip traveling at 65-66mph the entire trip except about 30 miles at 60mph. I was very happy about that because I just started hand calculating and I'm getting much better than my overhead reads. My overhead read 17.9 when I got home, then I calculated it almost 20, I was really happy.

Keep in mind I have been part of yet another club, the vibration club. (but it is fixed now.) So I have learned to keep the speed under 68. THAT is how you get good mileage.
EDIT: I am currently NOT running the H2 wheels and nittos in my sig. Stcok aLL the way right now except the tone ring mod and a swiss cheese airbox.

Can't get better than 13.8-14.1 and that is babying it all while driving at 40-50 mph and staying at 65 or below on the interstate. Just towed my 5ver on a 300 mile round trip and averaged a whopping 7.8 mpg, granted I was going over 70 mph the whole trip.
